Food for Thought

I have always been good with food in that I’m not afraid to try new things.  There are of course some types of food that I don’t really like, like fish and mushrooms etc.  Growing up in Colombia I was accustomed to the foods there and how they were prepared.  When I came to the United States I saw that there was such a large variety of foods here from all over the world.  I was able to try so many good types of food like Italian food, Mexican food and Peruvian food that don’t exist in Colombia.  I love pasta so Italian food is ideal for me like chicken francese over spaghetti, it is so good.  As much as I enjoy the new foods here I will always love the Colombian arroz con pollo, a bandeja paisa and frijoles.  After trying a lot of different foods my favorite food now has to be ropa vieja with congri which is a Cuban dish.  Its shredded flank steak in a tomato based sauce that served with fried plantains and congri which is rice that is cooked in a black bean stock.  It is definitely worth trying if you ever have the opportunity, you won’t regret it.
