Essential Foods to Eat from Colombia

In Colombia the types of foods we eat are mainly grain. For example, we have “buñuelos” which is made out of a dough and put to fry. This is a typical Colombian dish and what people mainly eat for breakfast. Breakfast is considered a very important meal in Colombia and therefore we have big breakfasts at times. For example, we also have “calentado” which is kind of like leftovers from the previous night and their given for breakfast with an “arepa”. 

This leads me to my next grain breakfast, corn cakes, these go with anything you would like. Such as, eggs bread or even “calentado”. Corn cakes are more of like a side dish that go with anything that your eating including dinner. The reason why we eat a lot of grain or corn cakes its because we grow a lot of grain and corn. Its one of the main food supplies of Colombia. Lastly, the side drink for anything is coffee its more of like a culture thing. If your visiting a place or anything you would get offered coffee and it’s something you just expect because so many people do it.
