What's your flavour?

Bogota, the capital of the world's highest cocaine production, is home to a surprising past time. Sure cocaine can be purchased from anyone aged 8 and up along the well known bar strips and yes it seems that Colombian sex shops also, almost always, double as joke shops (I'm sure there is a private joke somewhere in it's origin) but Bogota is known for something else slightly less sinister yet equally as wicked. So Bogota, tell me, what's your flavour?

Now I've heard stories and have friends that indulge in this past time on a daily basis, although their efforts in this activity fades in comparison to the local's sheer determination not to be out-done.

What is this past time you ask? Flavour mixing. What? That's right, in Bogota there are no rules of engagement when it comes to food.
What weird combinations are you known for? Peanut butter and cheese? Icecream and hot sauce? Vegemite and avocado? Ham and jam sandwiches?

Well if you are into your weird food combinations Bogota is the place for you.Do you want sugar on your steak? How bout a spoonful of salt on that fresh pineapple? Nope? Well at least you have to try our cheese, condensed milk and guava pastry!

If none of these work for you, you are not weird, they don't for me either. However there has been one combination that I have fallen for and it comes served to you for about $3 in Cafe Florida in the heart of the cities old town. Hot chocolate and a cheese sandwich. Not weird? No not at all, except you are expected to dip your cheese sandwich in the hot chocolate! The soggy sweet chocolaty bread and slightly melt cheese makes the world feel right again. If John Lennon really was serious about peace his songs all would have included this recipe for success.
Don't knock it till you've tried it! So, tell me, what's your flavour?

With Love,
