Colombian food is pretty good if you know what to order, i mean not Cordon Bleu but really hearty and tasty. They eat waaay to much meat for my taste. But the soups have great variety, with plantain, chicken, potato etc, as well as the bakery stuff, including cheese breads, corn patties etc,
And of course fruits and fruit juices/salad, I haven't seen any other country with so many places dedicated to these, , it's delightful.
In Manizales I could get a great breakfast with scrambled eggs + chopped tomato and onion, together with a corn patty and a sizable country-style cheese piece, hot coffee or chocolate, and freshly squeezed OJ. All for U$2 lol
Also, you can hit a place called "la jarra" (lit. The Jar). You can get a full jar of fruit juice just for yourself for U$1.25 lol
I'm missing that food here in Vietnam.
1)Too much of one thing defeats the purpose.
2)Everybody is full of it. What's your hypocrisy?
