I am a great fan of Colombian food. It tastes so good, even better than Italian. It is a contradictory statement to make as I am an Italian and should be liking Italian food and not Colombian food, but then since my neighbor is a Colombian woman, she made me taste really lovely Colombian dishes like bunuelo or empanada with sancocho de gallina. I want to know that what is it that makes Colombian food so flavorful and rich?
