"Comida" Colommbiana...

Let me  tell you how awesome it is ! With a gastronomic experience influenced by Colombia's Caribbean shoreline, Pacific coast, mountains, jungle, and farmlands, Colombian cuisine is worth a try. I have tried things here that I have never even heard of. And.... the FRUITS OMG. I cannot begin to tell u how many tropical fruits are seen here. Things I have never heard of before. Colombians love to have with their meals a glass of fresh tropical juice, pressed or mixed with water or done "con leche" (with milk). Here are some example of fruits: cape gooseberry, feijoa, arazá, dragon fruit, mangostino, granadilla, papaya, guava, blackberry, lulo, soursop and passionfruit.^[3][4]

 

 

The Typical Colombian Breakfast

 

 

Breakfast in Colombia usually begins with a "calentado" (which included beans usually prepapred the day previously, refried with rice, a fried egg and an arepa) , served with coffee.

 

 

 

 

 

As well, some might want to try the "pan de yucca" (yucca bread), cheese rolls or "pan de bono" with a cafe con leche  (latte). Here, we have "queso campesino" (cheese from the local region which is a firm but breakkable cheese)

 

 

 

 

AREPAS

 

Arepas are round  flatbreads made of ground corn (maizena) dough which are prominent in Colombian food. Arepas can be served with SOOO MANY THINGS!... For example, with avocado, chorizo (sausage), yucca, cheese, eggs, bandeja paisa and etc.... It is a staple in the Colombian kitchen.

 

 

 

 

Arepa con huevo (arepa with eggs) seen mostly in the pacific coast of Colombia in the region of Baranquilla.
