So far, Colombian food has been nothing but delicious! If you know me, you know I take pictures of food!
Ajiaco Santafereño - Chicken soup with capers, cream, yuca, potato, guasca, mazorca (corn), always served with avocado and rice on the side. The essential Bogotá dish.
Arepizza - An arepa (ground corn bread), topped with sausage, pineapple and cheese.
Bandeja Paisa - Traditional dish from Medellín. It consists of a fried egg, sausage, beef, arepa, plátano maduro (sweet fried over-ripe plantain), baked beans, avocado, rice and chicharrón (Colombia pork rinds).
Colombian coffee! - This is called a "Tinto" or black coffee. It also has cinnamon sticks and panela (pure sugar cane).
I forgot the name but it's fired plantains with mozzarella cheese in the middle.
Plátano Maduro - Fried plantain stuffed with cheese and "bocadillo." Bocadillo is made from guayaba (guava) fruit and panela.
They have Activia down here, too! But with weird Amazonian fruits!!
Sancocho de gallina - Potato and yuca soup with a hen leg. Also served with rice and avocado on the side.
A funny restaurant. It is called "Mr. Stinky." I was told that it was named after the owner, whose real nickname was "Mr. Stinky." The menu is full of sexual innuendos. You can order "Pechugas de mi prima" if you want.
Saludos desde Bogotá!
