Back into this jungle we need to navigate carefully but it is easier when there is good food. The first thing we found again was the delicious SALPICON, which I have described before. Here I am presenting a picture of the one we found couple of blocks from the hostel. While we were enjoying it a jackass showed up offering porno movies, Brian almost used his broken arms to get him to move. What an idiot!!!
SALPICON.
Delicious!!! For 2500 Colombian pesos, with ice cream.
Nachos Pacquiao.
Pacquiao deserves our respect; this Philippine boxer fought against Marquez for the third time on November 12. Marquez is Mexican and he is also good but Pacquiao is my favourite…
In Colombia everyone knows about football but other than that they could not care less for anything else. Finding a place to watch the fights near our hostel was a hard job because nobody heard about it. We looked in the DirectTV schedule through the Internet and asked in many places if they would show this channel for us. Finally we ended up in one place for the first part of the fights and the second part in another place, why? Because the first place had to close at 11:30pm…
Anyway, we enjoyed some nachos at the first spot. For 8900 Colombian pesos we had a full plate of nachos with a lot of ingredients, very well done…
Thanks guys!!!
Fishy English.
We met an English couple at Palm Tree Hostel in Medellin and they shared with us a super recipe that I love and it is now in my top ten favourite recipes.
Thanks Stacey and Will, we will never forget about you…
We spent $6.13 USD for this dish including lovely pasta.
Ingredients:
Fish-we used corvina
Parsley
Garlic
Lemon
Butter
Preparation:
1) Cut garlic in very little pieces. Add the garlic as well as the lemon to the fish and let it sit for a little while.
2) Cut parsley in tiny pieces.
3) Put butter in a pan and fry the fish, constantly put melted butter on top of the fish.
4) Turn it over and keep cooking it. Once it is finally well cooked add the parsley and keep adding melted butter on top. You can turn it over again but try to keep the parsley on the fish for presentation.
5) You can eat this fish on top of pasta or simply with bread.
6) Enjoy with beer.
Bandeja Paisa, super!!!
We had the opportunity to try Bandeja Paisa again, typical dish from Antioquia. First Dona Luz, the lady who takes care of the hygiene of the hostel where we were staying in Medellin, cooked for us this wonderful meal. For that thank you so much.
Then when we travelled from Medellin to Cartagena, Carlos took us for lunch at a common truck stop called “Los Comerciales” in El Alto Matasanos near Don Matias town and we had it again, this time with an additional type of meat called sobrebarriga (a soft piece of meat coming from the area of the stomach, not the insides). It was delicious and one plate was more than enough for both of us, price=19500 Colombian pesos. Arepitas made out of corn were given to us and these little tick tortillas were delicious.
A new drink for us came with the dish for us just to try, it is called Claro. Claro is made with the water used to boil corn; once the corn is removed and the water is filtered the addition of milk makes out of this a healthy and refreshing drink. Normally a glass of this tasty drink is 1500 Colombian pesos.
Crepes.
This is just a quick reminder of making out crepes a fantastic and economical meal. You can use any leftovers from other meals to make the fillings.
We love cooking and creating and meeting people like Catherine who likes to cook also. It was a pleasure to meet her and to cook with her. I cannot teach a French to make crepes but I can let her know I appreciate their creations.
Stahlratte, I feel sorry for myself.
Food on this boat is always great, unfortunately in this occasion I was not able to try a lot of the meals because for 7 days I felt sea sickness. However, I can share with you one dish: turkey with mashed potatoes. Don’t ask me how this was cooked but I can tell you it was delicious.
