What are the TOP 10 Most FAMOUS and ICONIC Colombian Dishes That You HAVE To Try?

[@AbroadWithBen]

Hi everyone! By request, here is my new video about the top 10 traditional Colombian dishes that you must try when you come to this beautiful country! It was impossible to put them in perfect order, so please let me know your top 10 in the comments below. I'm pretty sure my number 1 was right though, wouldn't you agree! If you have any requests for future Colombia-related videos, drop me a comment below, I'd appreciate your suggestions 😀

Watching this one again. Darn, it's almost midnight here and I'm getting so hungry watching this video. Man, I really miss Colombian arepas! Da kine. Most of the ajiacos I've had I helped make (and consume) while back in the States, but of course they originate in Bogotá. And the packets of dried herbs that are the secret to an authentic ajiaco must come from Colombia. You also really need the various special varieties of potatoes from Colombia, but you can fake it with potatoes found elsewhere. In any case, I'll be dreaming about Colombian cuisine tonight. Cuidaté!

As Colombian born citizen, this vid makes me feel pretty proud and a kind of emotional, cuz out here in Northern US, you don t get lots of Colombian restaurants, something very homesick.

Hi. Thank you so much for watching the video, I really hope you enjoyed it! I completely understand how you feel when you miss the comforts from your home country like the food, the culture, the beautiful landscapes etc. It's great to hear that you're proud of your country, culture, and food. Colombia is an incredibly special place! I hope you will be able to take a trip home someday soon and satisfy those Colombian food cravings haha

@@AbroadWithBen Hi Ben, guess what ? I m already in Colombia ! I hit Cali a few days ago 😁😁😃😃 long time I didn't come here but so happy to see my family again. 😢😃 I ve pigg'd out on every typical dish, I hadnt tasted for so long.

[@AbroadWithBen]

I can imagine how happy you must be getting a little “taste of home” again. That’s awesome 😀 I’m happy for you! Hope you have a great vacation home and eat plenty haha

[@ReganKatona-h6b]

@@AbroadWithBen sure, I will 😹😸😻 God bless u, Ben ! Thanks for lettin ppl know about my country's food and culture.

[@AbroadWithBen]

It’s my true pleasure showing the best of Colombia and the Colombian people. Thank you so much for watching my videos and supporting my channel. I hope you’ll like the videos I’ll be publishing in the future 😀 Best regards

[@dpwaldman3145]

Fun video - short and sweet. I’ve been to Colombia seven times, and have spent solid time in various areas, so it was cool to not know a couple out of the ten, or maybe not remember the exact name. Thanks, Ben! You really killed me bringing food back in to the picture.

[@AbroadWithBen]

Thanks so much for the very kind comment. I hope the video brought back some good memories of Colombia for you! Sorry to make you crave the food hehe. I might have to make a part 2 to this video because it seems a lot of people are interested in Colombian food 😀

[@dpwaldman3145]

@@AbroadWithBen One other food to consider would be the amazing plethora of jugos (juices). I was absoutely blown away just about everywhere in Colombia with the fruits and the juices. I always ordered the ones with no added sugar. No need! Cheers!

[@AbroadWithBen]

That’s a great idea! Thanks so much for the suggestion. I’ll definitely keep that in mind for a future video perhaps within the next month or two. I appreciate it 😀

[@dpwaldman3145]

@@AbroadWithBen That's awesome. I'm subscribing so I'll see it. I will also check and see if you have any videos for Jamaica and Mexico!! Cheers!

[@AbroadWithBen]

Hi @dpwaldman3145. Guess what? I just made the video you suggested about Colombian fruits and even gave you a little shout out in the video to thank you for your awesome suggestion! I'll probably end up making a part 2 and 3 in the near future! I had a lot of fun making the video. I hope you like it!

[@byegonkiplangat]

Fantastic

[@AbroadWithBen]

Thank you so much 😀

GUACAMOLE, though delicious, IS NOT COLOMBIAN. We use ají. Guacamole and salsa may be offered in Colombia now bc of Mexicans that have moved here AND due to tourists’ expectations bc they’re used to Mexican cuisine.

[@P1otsE]

He never stated that the guacamole originated from Colombia he was just saying that it is a common topping. Btw I’m also Colombian😅

[@mariasorayaescobarvalderra9081]

Faltaron los tamales

[@AbroadWithBen]

¡Tienes razón! Fue difícil seleccionar solo 10, así que tendré que hacer un video de la parte 2 jaja. Gracias por la sugerencia 😀

[@ReganKatona-h6b]

​@@AbroadWithBen Ben, I d be more than happy if you brought out a vid about Cali's gastronomy, in honor of the city where I was born. I hope you go there someday , long time I don't visit it 😢😢😢

[@ReganKatona-h6b]

Tamal Valluno y Tolimense are two types of them

[@AbroadWithBen]

Hi. I really appreciate the suggestion! I still haven't been to Cali but it's been on my list of places I want to visit for a very long time! Perhaps next year I'll be able to visit, and I'll definitely check out the gastronomy scene as well as the city's attractions. It's great when viewers give me these kinds of recommendations because it helps me discover new things and places that I might not have gotten to discover, so thank you!

[@perropulgoso3351]

Great foods, thanks for the good pronunciation.

[@AbroadWithBen]

Thank you so much for the kind comment 😀 My Spanish isn’t perfect and I worry about my pronunciation haha I’m glad I didn’t slaughter the names of those foods 😂
