As a topic of discussion, one of the things I find difficult about living in Colombia. The lack of diversity in foods available.The complete lack of interest by most Colombians to try new foods. The monotony of eating huevos, queso and arepa, day after day after day, month after month.
Most colombians I have met, and that is a considerable amont, do not know how to cook. They are experts in making food hot, but know nothing about the science of cooking.
They have no interest in trying new things or different flavors. Anything that is not bland, salty and over cooked is "Picante" and they will not eat.
Sancocho = chicken soup with an old rooster
Ajijaco = more chicken soup
Tamale = greazy fat soaked corn meal with yuk inside
Bisteak = beef jerky
Pollo gisado = chicken stew
arepa = dry tastless corn or flour patty
bandeja pisa = sicario by heart attack
empanadas - not bad for fried corn meal wraped somthing
pasta -start with the pasta in cold water and boil untill almost mush
Am I missing anything? What else is there.
