There are so
many amazing foods and drinks in Colombia and some of them are natural fruit
juices and panela, and some of the natural fruit juice flavors are mango,
blackberry, strawberry, passion fruit, guanabana (soursop), guava, lemonade,
coconut lemonade, lulo, orange and mandarin. You can pick if you want your
juice to be in water or milk. My favorite type is strawberry and blackberry in
water. Panela is sugar water. There are 2 types of panela. One type is cold and
with lemonade, the other type is warm with just sugar. Sometimes they put
cheese in it. I don’t like it with cheese at all. Coffee is pretty much what
Colombia is known for. One of my favorite foods in Colombia is salchipapas. Salchipapas
are french-fries and sausage that sometimes has rosada sauce. Rosada sauce is
ketchup mixed with mayonnaise. I don’t like rosada sauce. In Colombia lots of
sauces come in pouches like mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard and jelly. Some types
of jelly are blackberry, strawberry, pineapple and red fruits. Milk goes in a
bag, and water does sometimes too.
There are many types of ice cream in Colombia. Some of them
include: strawberry, blackberry, mandarin, lime, brownie, chocolate, vanilla,
passion fruit, mango, rum and raisin, and coffee. Many cones have sauces and
sprinkles and you don’t even have to pay extra.
There are also a lots of different types of soda in
Colombia, like Quatro, Colombiana, and Postobon. Postobon comes in lots of
fruit flavors.
Most of the fruit we get is grown here and not shipped from
other places. A lot of the fruit that grows might be the same fruit, and the
same taste, but they look different. For example, lemons – they look different
but they taste the same.
Bananas are mini. There are big, normal sized bananas too,
but the rest are smaller than your hand. There are also these banana type
things call plantains. They are bigger and greener. I don’t like them, but my
family does. Plantains can be made into many different forms and tastes. They
can be sweet or salty.

Seth,
ReplyDeleteYou made me hungry when I read your entry. I think I would like the cherry limeade and a chicken-filled croissant. And followed by some coffee ice cream and a cup of Colombian coffee. Are you taking orders?
Love Grandma
Seth,
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering. Your pictures and description of the different foods are great. I could even eat some of the food, especially that big dinner plate your dad had. That looked really tasty. Keep up the good blogging. Looking forward to seeing you in person and playing some games.
Love all the foods but mostly the mango juice! What an experience you guys are having.
ReplyDeleteHi Seth! I was very impressed with your blog! Your pictures are incredible and they made me so hungry! I think I would like almost every bit of food in Colombia! It looks like you and your family are having a super fun and educational trip! Please tell your sister I said hi! ❤️, Mrs. A. (Maria's math teacher)
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the blog, Seth! I loved learning about all the foods you’ve had in Colombia. I would especially love all the fresh juices. Yum!
