Nariño and Cauca Foodways

Regional

The far south, higher, colder and closer to Ecuador than to Bogotá — and it eats accordingly. CUY ASADO, guinea pig on a spit, which the rest of Colombia does not eat and which links Nariño to Ecuador and Peru. HORNADO. FRITADA. Potatoes, ocas and ullucos. LAPINGACHOS. HELADO DE PAILA made in a copper pan on ice. Popayán in Cauca, a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, with CARANTANTA (the toasted crust of maize dough), TAMAL DE PIPIÁN (with a peanut-and-potato filling) and its Holy Week sweets. ⚠ THE NASA AND MISAK ARE HERE and are recorded separately.
