Humm I never been in Cotacachi.. food cevichocho looks great. I'm hungry mow .🍽️

[@ayngelina]

All of it was fantastic, I had been looking for champus and quaker for so long. I was convinced you could only find it in people's homes now.

[@rafaelsolorzano700]

Great stuff again....Im in awe again........colada was a drink I revered.....during my ten years in Ecuador,,,,,,,,back in 1964......Keep up the good work..

[@ayngelina]

Thank you Rafael, did you have colada de cuy or colada de churo?

[@maryclairegaloni8727]

You explain everything so well 👍😎

Thank you so much. I'm lucky to be traveling with Andres as he's a national guide.

Oh Ayngelina ! On my list to go stay there. So mystical in appearance

[@ayngelina]

It's an absolutely gorgeous area of the country

Yum! The food there looks so so good 🤤

[@ayngelina]

I have been looking for these traditional dishes for a while. It was an amazing surprise to find them here.

I never knew about Quaker. Thanks for the story.

You bet! I discovered you can buy pre-made stuff in the groceries stores now but it's still called Quaker!

I love your blue poncho--probably not the right name for it, but it is lovely. The colada de cuy will be on my list of things to try in Ecuador!

[@ayngelina]

Thank you and it is the right name, we'll at least that's the only name I've heard it called here. When I'm on a plane it's like wearing a blanket, I love it.

Es increíble que conoces más lugares y más platos típicos que una persona ecuatoriana xD Me alegro que disfrutes estando aquí! El quaker con naranjilla si lo venden en todos lados ya sea en los super o tiendas pero no de manera artesanal sino que vienen en fundas de plástico o cajas como la leche, creo que la empresa vita leche o toni son empresas lácteas que lo hacen pero obviamente no será lo mismo si se lo hace de la manera casera a comparacion de una fábrica

[@ayngelina]

Gracias Johanna! Quiero aprender a hacerlo 😍

Ayngelina, really enjoy your videos. Chochos are lupini beans. They are readily available in American supermarkets. My mother would sometimes add chochos to her encurtido de cebollas.

[@ayngelina]

I did hear they were called thay in English but I've never seen it in Canada. Where did you grow up in the States?

[@milewis3343]

@@ayngelina Hi Ayngelina, I grew up in New Jersey, where there are many immigrants. Our next door neighbors, who were from Portugal, used to process their own lupini beans. Lipini are common in mrditerranean countries, and they're native to that region. Lupini are also native to the Andes, so they're traditional food there as well. The lupini in Ecuador are smaller compared to the large ones you can buy pickled in jars in the States. I really appreciate that you're interested in learning about the foods you eat. It comes out in your videos.

[@ayngelina]

@@milewis3343 Oh I didn't know that about lupini beans, very cool! I really love exploring a country's food, it shares so much and then people comment and you learn even more! Thanks for teaching me that.

Fun fun ❤️

[@ayngelina]

It is a great spot!

[@nellie...]

Nutritional food 👌. The the pottery bowl make the soup taste better?

[@ayngelina]

Not sure, it would definitely keep it warmer longer and as we were in the Andes early in the morning it was a bit chilly.

[@maribelcevallos9374]

Awesome, I have to try cuy colada! Quaker colada is certainly not going anywhere, it’s a staple at lunch in most ecuadorian homes. ☺️

[@ayngelina]

I think that is a beautiful thing because it's so good.

[@pedroblanco8311]

This is another great informative video! You've taken us on an excellent tour of Ecuador to parts previously unknown, and it's been an excellent ride! Had you tried Colada prior to this recording? I don't think I've seen it on an Ecuadorian menu previously.

[@ayngelina]

Have you tried colada morada? The purple drink often served at Dia de los Difuntos aka Day of the Dead/Deceased?

[@pedroblanco8311]

@@ayngelina Yes, however you may be able to help alleviate some confusion. Do you know the difference (if any), between the Colada Morada and the Peruvian Chicha Morada?

Also, I'm going to try to commit to the Andrés technique for eating soups. Which would you say it's less likely to result in dribble stains?

[@ayngelina]

Ha he was actually upset by that shot and said he looked sloppy whereas I take bites that look better on camera 😂 but I think his technique is smarter.

[@pedroblanco8311]

@@ayngelina We'll plan to try the Andrés technique soon.

[@ExploringEcuador]

The Cotacachi market is open every day. I believe there's more activity on the weekends. I didn't know the drink was an oatmeal drink. I thought it was some type of juice. I didn't know the difference between the inside and outside food. I'll have to try the inside food. The round outside food booths open at night.

[@ayngelina]

Yes we were told the cuy de colada was available Sunday morning but we had to go early. I was surprised by the quaker as the naranjilla really does make it seem like a fruit juice rather than oat. Now I want the recipe!

[@maureenahmed6960]

Where exactly in Cotacachi is it located?
