An Intro to Colombian cuisine and lifestyle

Narcos Watch Party Essentials

If you want a full experience of Colombia as you watch Narcos (if you haven't already binged on it this weekend), here as some traditional colombian edibles, accessories, and beverages to check out:


Empanadas con aji (Claro!)

Salchipapas (not a traditional Colombian dish, but still common. In fact, Most Latin American countries have this or their own version of this)

Un Tinto o Un Perico (colombians are obsessed with coffee: "quiubo pues!")

Difference between 'Tinto' and 'Perico':

- Tinto is coffee served black with aguapanela (water with Panela - unrefined whole can sugar)

-Perico is served black with regular, bleached, processed sugar.

-Sidenote: not sure if you noticed but Berna was drinking from the same "cafe de colombia' cup in season 2 when he first spoke to Agent Peña in the cafe (I think every Colombian has a pair of these cups...I use them almost on a daily basis, they're the perfect size!)

Jugo de Guanábana en Leche

-I remember eating this fruit as a kid in Colombia when I'd go with my mom to visit. It's been my favorite fruit since. Do yourself a favor: go to a Colombian restaurant and order this drink as your "sobremesa" (literal translation: "on-table". But think, "refreshment")


Una Cerveza Aguila (like the one Sofia is holding)/Poker/Club Colombia/Costeña

OR

Un Refajo (2 parts beer, one part colombiana soda) - So refreshing!! One of my personal faves.

Colombiana or Manzana Postobon. Bacano ("cool").

Chocolate caliente con queso. Mmmm....que rico

Breads (Colombians are HUGE on bread):

in order, top to bottom: Bunuelos, pandebonos, pandebono, almojabanas, Roscón de Arequipe (Dulce de Leche Stuffed Bread), Roscón de Bocadillo o de Guayaba (Guava Paste Stuffed Bread)

Sombrero volteado (more of a coastal thing than a Paisa thing. By the way, "Paisa" is a noun that refers to someone that's from Medellin. E.g., Pablo Escobar was Paisa.)

And last but most certainly not least…Aguardiente Antioqueno!

Que disfruten! Salud Parceros!!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
