It was indeed heavy; at least generally. But that doesn't mean that Colombians eat this way everyday or that they don't take care of themselves - I didn't actually say that. I don't think restaurants are always representative of the way people eat at home. And in the case of Colombia, I am well aware of how people tend to be very careful with their appearance.

First of all half the people can't even finish a whole bandeja paisa maybe most men but if you didn't noticed almost all men are skinny .. That's actually one thing i hate about colombian men. I wish they we're a little more meaty.. And maybe you talked to a couple campesinos that don't care about their appearance but the girls here take well care of themselves and don't eat that crap everyday.

Be sure to share the results if you try it out! Photos or it didn't happen! ;) Hi Cassandra,

I actually dedicated a post to them a while ago: http://bkpk.me/getting-married-to-food-in-costa-rica/ A trip to Central America sounds exciting! All the best! :) Hi Ryan,

I like eating the way local people eat in a given country! :) Yes, the Mojarra fish dish was one of the highlights for me… not because it was outstanding, but precisely because of the opposite: it was simple, but it ALWAYS hit the spot.

After a visit this summer I left with an appreciation for mojarra, coconut rice, and especially patacones. My goal would be to learn how to make this meal. Carimañola is one dish I didn't get to try, so I'm making a note of that for my next visit. Here's to getting fat in Colombia! Aww, I missed Colombia–and the food!–when I read this round-up.

Loved the images. Heart attack on a plate indeed. Colombians seem to dig the deep fried stuff and they are heavy on the meat as well. My fiancee Kelli is a vegetarian so some spots in Central and South America have been tough for her - a gal can only eat so much arroz con frijoles before going "platanos" - but overall, the fare there is amazing. So many meats, some great veggies and more than anything, real soul food. When I was up north in Costa Rica I never left a table feeling hungry. Always satiated. Can't say that for everywhere I've traveled. They know how to pack some serious flavor and calories into these dishes. Just keep exercising; doing 1-2 hours a day here in Fiji so I'm prepping myself for our Central American trip next year. Thanks so much. Tweeting soon Zara. Signing off from Savusavu, Fiji.

And what's best is that it is available EVERYWHERE. It's funny, because we have been to other countries famous for their coffee (like Brazil, for example) but they don't necessarily serve / drink good coffee inside the country... the same does not happen in Colombia, their coffee lives up to the expectation!!
