adela I'm very traditional: fruit juices, sancocho de gallina, empanadas caleñas, el tamal valluno, champus...especially the last one.

My typical lunch is the one I eat at the school: boiled potatoes, meatballs, gravy and lingonberry preserve. Shredded carrots, mixed salad with tomatoes and lettuce, peas or yellow corn. Hard bread (knäckebröd) with low-fat spread. Water.

Cheers,
Desi

Not where I live Rubiazo, i can't find anybody from Colombia, sometimes one or another pass through but that's it. and about colombian products? just the coffe that they sell in the supermarkets, which I don't like it that much cuz it's very strong, I like smooth. sometimes I see the odd Guayaba and it cost 89p just for one!!!!!!

That's ok, Kat. Barry is probably relieved that you aren't living in a neighborhood full of Argentines. I'd be asking, "Hey, what am I? Dog meat?".

hey there are lots of colombians in london but i don't see them here in the forum tho! just quindioman and myself i guess :(

we have restaurants, nightclubs, shopping centres all over the place... north london: paisas - south london: Caleños not many people from bogota.. i wonder why?? you can find all sorts of colombian stuff in the supermarkets just go down to brixton market and they'll even speak to you in spanish! reggaeton is hitting hard here too i wonder what mr. greenday would say about that!

i'm quite happy to say that if i was to get homesick all i have to do is go to el pueblito paisa market in north london and i would feel right at home eating hot dogs a lo colombiano and listening to some salsa before hitting the colombian clubs in south london.
