The gastronomy of Bogota, as it is in the rest of the country, includes several regional cuisines, each of them with its specialties, with Spanish and indigenous ingredients and various preparation methods. The main ingredient of the Colombian diet are tubers, especially cassava and potato, accompanied by meat or fish. The consumption of corn and rice is also massive, in addition to wheat used in its flours. The main legumes used are lentil and pea, and plantain is very important within our diet.

Bogota is not only striking for its eastern hills, weather or simply being the capital of Colombia. Its gastronomy is also one of the strongest attractions to conquer the heart and stomach, not only of the Bogotanos but of all the people who arrive from other cities and countries.
Some foods are characterized by their antiquity and by their particular name, thus baptized by the ancestors who marked a legacy. Although some dishes remain intact, as taught generation by generation, others have undergone changes, the act of experimenting will always be valid within the kitchen.
Therefore, on this occasion we bring you three typical meals from Bogota that you can enjoy for breakfast, lunch and dessert.
This Cundiboyacense dish (from the Colombian region of Cundinamarca and Boyaca) has been kept in the different kitchens of the country for its delicacy. Its main ingredients are milk, egg and coriander. When it is ready it can be accompanied with calado (toasted bread), slices and on certain occasions, arepa or almojabana. It all depends in everyone’s taste. Many believe that this dish has lost popularity in some restaurants, the truth is that many Bogotana families keep it in force within their homes.
This is perhaps the most traditional soup of the Bogotaan cuisine. The ajiaco santafereño has three different potatoes: sabanera, pastusa and Creole, accompanied by corncob and chicken; and according to the taste of the person you can add cream of milk and capers. Without leaving aside rice and avocado. Definitely a lunch to enjoy a weekend with the family.
This dessert has more than three centuries of existence, its origin goes from the elaboration of the wafers destined for Eucharistic consecration. Its main accompaniment is arequipe (Caramel) but over time other ingredients such as cheese, blackberry and coconut have been added.
Some of the most traditional dishes of Bogotá are for example the Fritanga, prepared based on different types of meat: chorizo, pork, beef, heart, udder, and also includes potato, ripe plantain and arepa; Ajiaco is a type of chicken soup made from sabanera potato, Creole, guascas, pastusa potatoes and corncob, usually accompanied by rice, avocado, milk cream and capers. One of the most traditional is the Santafereño stew, prepared with meat, cassava, plantain, potato pastusa and sabanera and tender corncob and served decorated with cabbage leaves. In addition, throughout Colombia the so-called Sancocho de Gallina is widely consumed, prepared with chicken, potato, cassava and plantain and accompanied by white rice.
One of the dishes worth trying are the famous Tamales with Chocolate, the tamal is prepared with a mixture based on corn, meat, longaniza, chicken, chickpeas, garlic, long onion, pork rib and very well seasoned, and then wrap it in plantain leaves, tie it with cabuya and steam them. These tamales are usually accompanied with a cup of hot chocolate.
