Sancocho en Bolsa!

Wherever I am I'm usually craving plantains, yuca, manjarblanco (dulce de leche), arepa (thin corn bread), Lulo fruit-- among many others.

Home Sweet Colombia is far away right now, but my Dad sent me away with a few packages of instant Colombian wonderfulness.
Sancocho is a traditional soup, and I had saved the packages for months- for the PERFECT occasion, since this precious mix is worth its weight in gold. I knew the time had come, when within one week I met 2 Colombians that were new to Gaza. Both from Bogota- and both as enthusiastic as me for a little Colombian meal.

Recently Knorr came out with the culturally relevant "Sancocho" mix- Glocalization my friends.

Voila my special treat.
Gracias Paps!
