Bandeja Paisa
Location:
Any restaurant downtown
Medellín, Colombia
Other Activity
Perhaps the most terrifying dish available in Colombia comes from this region. Not terrifying in the nature of the food - not toasted ants, brains or the like - in truth it's similar to a full English breakfast, but that it is eaten in the heat and with every mouthful you can feel your arteries thickening.
A Bandeja Paisa consists of beans, ground beef, rice, chorizo, blood sausage, pork scratchings, avocado, arepa, plantain and topped off with an arepa and a fried egg on top.
If that doesn't get your heart skipping a beat in fear then nothing will. And if you can finish this hearty platter you are doing better than most. With any luck the sugar and grease rush will make you feel superhuman and not on the verge of suffering a heart attack.
Travel Tips: Don't eat breakfast beforehand. Come to the table with an empty stomach.
