What you read is in fact true. $80.000 pesos. Some people have suggested that<strong> one look at my foreign face meant I got overcharged<\/strong>, but I should point out that I was in a large group of people, mainly Colombians (as well as the fact that I am <strong>not the average blue-eyed, blond-haired foreigner<\/strong> that you are probably imagining).<\/p>\n<p>This was simply a rip-off, plain as that. We were in a restaurant (which shall remain unnamed. I&#8217;m just nice like that), they convinced us that their lulada was better than most and, despite the fact that <strong>there was no price on the menu<\/strong>, we figured we should try it. After all, how expensive can one little jug of lulada be?<\/p>\n<p>What made the experience even more enjoyable for me is that we ordered some picadas. All good. Except that I don\u2019t eat pork. And<strong> these were entirely pork<\/strong>. So not only was I only able to eat potatoes (covered in pork juice), if I wanted to drown my sorrows I would <strong>end up having to pay a small fortune for the privilege.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That is all I have to say on the matter \u2013 I just wanted to confirm that <strong>we did in fact pay $80.000 pesos for a jug of lulada<\/strong> (well, $160.000 for two jugs to be precise).
