Food in Colombia

Today, I want to share the attractions of Colombian food.

Desayuno : breakfast

Hot chocolate, scramble eggs and arepa or small breads are Colombian simple breakfast style. Arepa is the corn bread of the Latin Americans. It looks like white pancake and it filled with meat, cheese, or coconut. For me, arepa tastes nothing special but Latin American really loves to have it.
