Your menú for tonight?

[Sassy Colombian]

Pigs' blood ; it's a savoury food. You can get a vegetarian one, but I've never had it.

I bet the vegetarian version is not as delicious. I mean blood is what makes the dish.

 

[Sassy Colombian]

Same thing. Savoury.

Yummy. Now I'm eager to give it a try.

Beans on toast, really? Like what sort of toast? and for breakfast or dinner? Sorry my questioning but we Colombians eat a lot of beans but never on toast.

Yours looked sound.

Let me know how the salad went. California fell for it.

Beans on toast are a Brit staple. Can lob a fried egg on it, have them with a baked potato with cheese. Thicken up last nights chilli just sound.

Like most vegetarian equivalents of meat dishes.

Ours is very delicious, we also have it at times with breakfast along with eggs, arepas (corn type of bread or pancake) , papas criollas (a Colombian spout that is yellow and creamy inside), we usually also enjoy it hot Chocolate, the Colombian type no the American stuff. That would be considered a criollo breakfast

My daughter absolutely loves morcilla but we have yet to tell her about the blood in it but one day we must confess to her the truth

We call that a James.

Not to forget our Caledonian cousins and their white pudding.

Or red.

The English stuff is rubbish, to many lumpy bits of fat.
The Scottish stuff is far nicer .
A poached egg in a buttered softie with black pudding is wonderful.

I literally laughed for a couple of minutes after that comment. But now I'm regretting it because after today I am never going to look at lthose spouts the same way. Instead, everytime I take a bite I am going to have James and his papas criollas in mind

I have yet to try either so I can't make that judgment, but a poached egg on top of it sounds very tasty for sure.
