Thank God it’s Friday! And to celebrate (and really slow us down before we play football this afternoon), Paul and I have decided to introduce to you some of the weird and wonderful ‘delicacies’ which Colombians keep telling us we must try. However, we’re honest guys, so instead of just writing a casual introduction to […]

If you’re from Colombia, you may well be thinking yourself ‘The Great Arepa Debate? What debate? Whether arepas are awesome or incredible?’. This is because here in Colombia, arepas are a staple of the diet, akin to pasta in Italy, cheese in France or beer in England. As one of our Twitter friends says, ‘if […]
I remember traveling to Sri Lanka some years ago and being told that no matter how poor people were, going hungry was very rare as the abundance of fruit the country had to offer ensured there was always something to eat. Now I’m not sure if that’s the same here in Colombia, but certainly there’s an […]

Today we’re finishing the list, but it has to be said, there’s so much variety here in Colombia and the fruit is so delicious that you almost can’t go wrong.
