Congressional Candidate Mayra Flores and her kin gathered around a warm fire on New Year’s Eve in South Texas. They used a cast-iron skillet to cook their food on an open flame. Flores exclaimed, “La vida Ranchero en familia es lo mejor.” Life on the Ranch with family is the best. Then she posted this picture to social media:


What are they eating, you ask? Are those street tacos? No. Actually, you’re looking at a popular Guyanese dish, Mutton (sheep) Stew and Flatbread.

In fact, this yummy meal wasn’t from Flores’s family ranch; it wasn’t even from America. As Twitter user Ben Anderson discovered, the picture Mayra Flores used on New Year’s Eve, claiming it was a family meal on her family ranch, was a STOLEN picture from the Guyanese Facebook Page, Visit Guyana.
