Cooking Traditions in Colombia Adopted in the United States

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the April 3rd, 2011

Delicious Latin is a direct specialty in Colombia, and Colombian traditions and styles have been adopted in areas throughout the United States. Colombian cuisine reflects and expresses Colombia’s identity as a nation, as well as integrating part of their culture, with different dishes varying from region to region. As in the United States, there are commonly three meals eaten throughout the day. Distinguishing them is their quantities, as Colombians have light and small meals for both breakfast and dinner, with the lunch being the larger and more substantial meal. Colombian coffee is great with any of these meals, and is also a favorite in America because of its superior standards and quality taste in comparison to other coffee brands.
The Colombians have a very large appetite for meat, and incorporate it accordingly in their diet, with fresh fish and other seafood found in good quantity and quality along the coast. As mentioned earlier, breakfast is light and will usually consist of eggs and fruit, as well as their famous coffee. Lunch is the main course and is accompanied by soup and a sweet dessert, while dinner is more of a snack than the meal. There are many Colombian cooking traditions adopted in the United States from the amazing spices, to the aijaco, homemade chicken soup. I know your mouth is watering, go on and grab that empinada.
