タマレ／Tamale

---

こっちの日曜日というのは本当に休みでして
ほとんどの店は閉まってしまい
僕らみたいなバックパッカーにとってはつらいところ。特に朝と夜。

まぁそんな訳で昨日の日曜日の朝は
路上で売り歩いていたタマレを買って部屋で食いました。
とうもろこし粉で出来たカレー味のチマキみたいなもんです。
一個普通なら１０００ペソ・・６０円程度なんですが
周りの店が閉まってるのをいいことにいつもの倍で売ってました。
が背に腹は変えられないので２個も買ってしまいまった・・。おいしいですよ。

On sunday, most of restaurants and shops are closed here.
I guess we all have to have rest.
For travelers, though, it is not easy day.
We have less or could be no choices ( especially at morning and night )

Last sunday ( October 7th ), at morning I was on search of food
and this is what I got on street.
Tamales which is like "chimaki in curry taste" .
Difference is that is made of corn instead of rice.
Usually 1000peso ( around 60 yen ).

Food de 4 de Octobure

---

I spent much money than I supposed to but
its not like I spent at fancy restaurante but local family run.
So I say its all right.

In the morning, at same Angerica
I finally ate Desayuno Completo ( something like Morning set )
The soup , scramble egg, bread, and cafe cost me 4300 peso ( little over $2 )

At lunch, I went to the other restaurante that I found yesterday.
Here I didnt get the name of plate.
I pointed out the one others wre eating.
That plate is 4000peso, soup is 1000peso , and coke 1000peso,
ends up 6000peso ( around $3 )

At night, I and the locals I met today went to eat Chorizos ( like hot dog ).
We can choose Arepas ( corn pancake ) instead of bread.

Caldo con Costilla, arepas con queso

I ll introduce local foods through my journey.

Here at Bogota, Ive kept going to same place every morning.
"Fruteria Cafeteria Angerica"
Trying to master general breakfast menu.
I write down the menu, check dictionary at hotel and try next time.

Picture is Caldo con Costilla and Arepas con queso.
Caldo con Costilla is soup with potatos and rib. Tastes like somehow nikujyaga little bit.
Arepas con queso is pancake made of corn and inside got cheese. This is my favorite.
