Colombian Foods














From top to bottom:
1) Pollo- flavored chips. They actually taste just like chicken. Dislike.
2) Tamales Tolimenses
3) Fancy chicken in a sauce with rice.
4) The fruit lulo
5) The ingredients used to make the dessert oblea.
6) An oblea. #noms
7) Tilapia Frita.
8) My new favorite ice cream! It is homemade, the different flavors are different fruits, and it comes on a stick. I got maracuyá, Molly--the other Fulbright ETA in Cali-- got maní (peanut), Angie--my new Colombian friend-- got piña (pineapple), and David (an American teaching English at La Santiago for a month) got coco (coconut).
9) Champús: a very popular drink in Cali made from lulo, maize, and pineapple. It is sweetened with panela (unrefined whole cane sugar) and seasoned with cinnamon, cloves, and orange tree leaves.
10) The fruit granadilla/maracuya/passion fruit.
11) Papas Rellenas.
12) The inside of passion fruit.
13) Colombian empanadas.
