Each region has its own traditional or "tipico" dish. Bandeja Paisa (red beans, rice, avocado, bacon, plantains) is typical of the northwest of Colombia. Sancocho (soup traditionally made with oxtail, plantains, yuca, potatoes, cilantro and other spices) is typical of the southwest part of Colombia. Fish and other seafood is typical of the coastal areas in Colombia, both on the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. Bogota (the capital) and its surrounding area has a especial dish called Ajiaco (it is a kind of chowder made with chicken, potatoes, corn and spices). In the Llanos (great plains in the east of the country) you would find the meat is the typical dish. Barbecues or "asados" and all manners of preparing the meat. This is where you find the huge ranches and our very own vaqueros (cowboys).[/quote] - @lfe Tue, 15 Apr 2008 20:00:54 +0100
