Many cities have local food tasting tours. I’m not much of a foodie; the focus is usually on local meat or seafood specialties, and alcohol, most of which is wasted on me. But in Colombia, I found a food tasting tour I could get behind: Taste the Rainbow, a tour of the colorful wares at the local public market in Cali.
Corn tamales vendor with her wares, always a favorite of mine.
The tour concluded with a cup of authentic Colombian coffee. I don’t usually drink my coffee black; my style is more like half a cup of coffee with half a cup of milk. But my tour guide Juan gently suggested I should try it the way it was meant to be enjoyed—black—and assured me it was mellow. And he was right. I couldn’t believe I drank the entire cup without a drop of milk in it!

Tasty
Did the palm fruit taste like persimmons? They look very much the same!
It had a very dense, fibrous, texture. I’m told it’s very high in protein.
Love love love your adventures!!!
So glad you are enjoying, Debbie!
