Travel Blog: Colombian Cuisine

Posted by James Lee, August 31st.

I am a Canadian traveller and I have just come back from Colombia. I loved my stay there. The food is a gastronomical adventure! I really recommend the paisa platter (bandeja paisa). It’s a of protein because it has eggs, red beans, fried pork and minced beef. It with rice and slices of fried plantain called patacón. It’s served with avocado. Avocados a lot of vitamins and minerals. Personally, I love this dish because it mixes a lot of flavours and nutrients. I suppose fried pork, minced beef and eggs a lot of cholesterol, so this dish is not healthy if you eat it every day or if you are not very active! But if it’s your first time in Colombia and you are in Antioquia, you should try it!

I’m a nutritionist. I agree the mix of flavours sounds interesting: eggs, avocados and pork are great sources of protein. But unfortunately, it’s very in fat. Maybe you should include more vegetables and use a different cooking method for some ingredients.
