Today I went to a special lunch with a group of nurses and doctors from the vascular surgery service. When they asked me what kind of food I wanted to eat, I asked them to take me to a typical Santandereana restaurant (the region of Bucaramanga). They agreed to take me to the restaurant Señora Santandereana on one condition: that they order for me and that I at least try everything. I agreed. This is the plate that arrived. First: the beverage (which I thought was delicious) is Hipinto (Buca's version of Big Red) mixed with cerveza. The plate: on the right is actual goat vertebrae, the seemingly innocent rice is actually guts and rice cooked in blood, which the doctors informed me that they give to patients with anemia to raise their iron. To the left is some sort of fatty meat and in the middle is steak, I think. I tried everything and smiled the entire time. Bring on the Trichinosis!!!
