I felt tempted to say japanese school girl uniforms, sliced and smoked.
But i don't want to be a troll, therefore i retract the above.
First time i took a food picture, i think, because i want to explain to a friend back home what a 2dollarfifty menu looks like.
It's probably more or less the same all throughout South America except in Peru where they have a latin/asian fusion cuisine.
Possibly other places where i haven't been. Chile, Surinam etc. Pretty sure though it's similar in Venezuela.
Homemade juice
Big serving of red beans, or soup
The plate itself almost always invariably the same: meat of choice, rice, salad and a big slice of grilled platano, banana's big brother.
I only cook when i feel it's time again for some healthy vegetables
Even though the latin cuisine is in general pretty bland, the best steaks i'm eating are here in Colombia, not in Argentina or Uruguay!
And if you wanna pay more than say 30 dollars for a fantastic steak, you probably have to eat it in the restaurant of a 5 star hotel.

The original antioquian crap food
I should add a smiley since i didn't write that in anger.
For clarification:
There is no national meal in Colombia
But the one of Medellin, capital of Antioquia
is bandeja paisa
and it's 88 keys of disgusting
as always, in my humble opinion

Boiled up some rotini pasta and added julienned veggies with a Vietnam-style chili-garlic fish sauce, added handful of cherry tomatoes and a can of sardines in olive oil ( reserved the oil). Mixed it up with some lime juice and chilled it. Took the oil and fried two eggs on the side. Great little cold pasta salad creation. Healthy & cheap. Washing it all down with Ganzberg on the rocks. Burp ...

Re: What's on the stove tonight?
Cooking has never been one of my strong points.
I used to enjoy baking and making my own bread when I lived in the UK and I keep verging on getting one of those worktop ovens.
How my 2 put up with my lack of culinary expertise is a constant source of amazement to me and I should really invest some time and effort into honing this skillset a tad more.
So, any helpful youtube cooks/chefs or recipe websites that are tailored to ingredients that are available here.. please post them
