How a Colombian Can Handle the New Flavors of the United States
The truth I don’t know, I think it depends on the case and the person. In my case I am was born in the North Coast and I hated almost every single dish except for the fried meals (and I was a walking cholesterol mess) but I didn’t had many options back there and at least in my case I love the offers I have here to eat and not junk fast food, I can find almost any vegetarian product or low fat product in the market and I am happy about that, because I don’t have a perfect health.
Do I miss any dish from Colombia?, Yes and no, yes because I liked a few sweets as the arequipe and no, because I was passing difficulties in my own land as my tastes differs from the mainstream. So how a Colombian how has a full pride of his food and heritage can handle the new flavors? he or she will find in the United States as the Colombian food is quite scarce around and probably that will be the biggest void any Colombian immigrant will feel, the missing of the flavors of his land.
