I was born and lived for 18 years in Bucaramanga, a small town near Chicamocha Canyon, known for having the most adventurous people in Colombia. It's gastronomy, including roasted ants, roasted kid, arepas santandereanas, a sort of hominy jonnycake and pepitoria, a mash-up of goat innards, blood, and seasoned rice is one of the tastiest in the country, also the most controversial.
