Look at that display of nice Colombian regional dishes. In the bottom a delicious bean soup (which made me "you know what" for days...). To the right and left of that two traditional chicken & corn soups, served with rice and avacado.In the top a vegetable soup with all sorts of stuff in it with a nice grilled fish & sauce. We had this lunch on the occasion of a two day visit from colleagues of the Nova Scotia Community College, Katie Orr and Zoran Kondali. We hosted them together with my colleague Sandra Castañeda of SENA, and Derek Gaudet, graduate from Niagara College's degree program International Commerce & Global Development (2010). Derek is networking in Colombia at the moment because he would like to start a career in international commerce in Spanish.
The next day I took Katie and Zoran for another typical dish co-hosted by Diana Osoris, a training manager of a local chamber of commerce. We went to a place called "Patacones", which serves sort of "Colombian pizzas": instead the Italian dough we used to see under the pizza toppings, here you gate the baked platane bananas as the "base". Delicious and something very different.
Katie and Zoran tried the "campesina" patacon with all sort of "stuff" on it:
And Diana and I tried the "thai" version: a bit of Asia on top of Colombian good stuff... :-)
Till next time...
