Colombia: The land of unforgettable food

Colombia: The land of unforgettable food

Have you been to Colombia to make a gastronomic travel? If not, make a note to come here once to try the unique and unforgettable food of this Spanish-speaking country. We highly recommend empanadas and mazamorra chiquita.

For wrap-form dishes, fans empanadas may be recommended. The dish is actually something like pies with filling. Usually, the filling is made of beef and cheese. The name comes from a Spanish word which is translated as ‘wrap in bread’. The best place to order this delicacy is La Castaña: visitors give a high estimation of the dish and place.

On a cold day a plate of a hot soup will warm you up, in Colombia order mazamorra chiquita – a traditional first dish. It is made with tripe, dried corn, chard, beef, beans, onions, spices, and other vegetables. The root vegetables which are added may vary in combination, for example, chuguas, cubios, ibias, potatoes. The actual recipe may differ from family to family. At Gran Parrilla Boyacense, you can try a nicely cooked mazamorra chiquita.
