"We" in COLOMBIA eat Guava Paste or "Bocadillo" with Cheese (You can use mozzarella cheese) One thing I can say with conviction is that the combination of salty cheese and sweet guava paste is one of those heavenly combinations.
If the idea is to taste colombian food i would consider not eating canned food that's so not colombian at all maybe that's why it looks so disgusting, even i was grossed by it and i am colombian
So exciting Barry! My husband is from Colombia! That lump of fat is from the tocino, get that a lot in the States where the tin of beans has a block of pork fat included with them; typically you can simmer them on the stovetop until the fat melts down; it's great for flavor! One of the best parts of Colombia's brilliant cuisine are they excellent pressed fruit juices. Passion fruit (maracuya) and lulo are AMAZING flavors. Lulo lollies are amazing, too, though I'm personally biased. If there were a single, simple Colombian recipe you could ever make a great video from, I highly suggest pericos; it's a Colombian scrambled egg with tomatoes and onions. While my mother-in-law grates/pulverizes the onions and tomatoes into a sort of paste, many Colombians also use finely chopped tomatoes and scallions mixed in. The flavor completely invigorates breakfast, especially for those who live and die by protein at breakfast. I loved the video! Glad you all had fun with it!
We have a lot of these in Brazil too... when I was a kid I used to eat (and love) those "marshmallows" all the time, but when I realized what it was made of I never ate it again!
Hey Barry, the little pocket on your jeans are from back in time, when it was usual to have a pocket watch. The watches fitted right in there. They kept tailoring it like this since then.
I'm colombian and i had never seen canned lechona. Also, those are definitely typical treats, but there are better ones. I could send you some others in case you want to try them.
Hi guys, great video, I'm Colombian and I thought you might like to know that the Copelia treats you had were what we call arequipe, in many other countries it's dulce de leche, when you cook milk with sugar beyond the point of condensed milk. And the Lochona is normally eaten fresh, and it's really nice, not so much from a tin. You are very welcome to come and visit :)
Barry, I like your videos and, as a Colombian, this one was really cool. There are some video like this about Colombian food and this is the most honest one. Some clarifications: Bocadillo is basically Guayaba (Psidium guajava) cooked with sugar and water. It becomes a thick jam. Mani Mono is just great: peanut covered with a flour based batter and deep fried. A classic. Fríjoles: in some regions of Colombia, people love this kind of beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). They are cooked with pork for some hours and that's it. They are used in the 'Bandeja Paisa'. Google it. A very decadent dish. Chokis, another classic: a mixture of corn flour, baked and covered with chocolate. ‘Gelatinas Bumbi’, in this case, are called popularly ‘Gelatina de Pata’, literally ‘gelatin of foot’, ‘Beef cow foot gelatin’. You know, traditionally (and still now) gelatin was made with collagen from animal parts including its foot bones. They extract this product and combine it with ‘Panela’ (cooked sugarcane). They are covered with flour because it will get very sticky otherwise. Lechona: a very popular dish. Google it and you will see. Basically, you take a pig and filled it with a combination of its meat, rice and beans. Then it’s roasted for some hours. The roasted skin is a very important part of the ‘Lechona’. Copelia: They are some Colombian sweets made with sugar and coconut. The brown one is based on ‘Arequipe’ a.k.a ‘Dulce de Leche’: milk and sugar cooked for hours until it becomes dark brown. Erpitos: filled with Guayaba jam. The wafer doesn’t have any taste and has a very paper-like texture. That’s it, you guys. Great video. Greetings from Colombia :)
The blob that was in the beans is pork fat. In Canada, we have beans cooked in molasses with pork and beans in tomato sauce. I prefer the latter. Great show guys!
the quava shud be eaten with a white cheese. here in nyc we use queso tropical. but any white colombian cheese shud do. make sure its not the "queso para freir" (cheese for frying) tho. i suppose u can eat it with that buts not as soft and crumbly as the regular one.
I'm colombian 🇨🇴 and the last product you taste... in colombia it's not a typical thing or its not to famous, i mean, i've never seen that in my life! But well, i love the video!
you cannot judge canned and packaged foods when they are first opened. They have not been exposed to air for quite some time and need that exposure to smell better and taste better.
frijoles antioqueños con tocino is literally just beans prepared like they make them in Antioquia (a part of Colombia) with bacon... people have them all the time in Colombia but usually made from scratch and not a can
+Ethan Gordon It can also mean "snack" and is the diminutive of "bocado", which means "mouthful", which is what I'm guessing the name sake of the product was. "Bocadillo" meaning "sandwich" is typical of Spain and they probably wouldn't use it that way in Columbia.
In Colombia, or at least in the capital, we use the word "bocadillo" to refer only to that guava candy they tasted. It doesn't means anything else than that.
Man, I was freaking hungry as I watched this. I haven't had any of that stuff in years. A little thing about lechona. It is a Colombian delicacy. Just, well, it's mostly served at parties and special occasions, and is only good when it's fresh and cooked. A tin... well, doubt it captured the rice's true flavor. Basically, everything you tried that was in a tin probably did not taste as good as the freshly made dish. As for bocadillo (boca-deeyo) it can also be served with cheese, like queso panela or queso campesino.
The fact that this video is in stereo drives me crazy for some reason while listening to you using headphones. One second you are on my left ear, then you're suddenly on my right ear and then in between. Going to listen to the rest without headphones.
The best snacks you would find in Colombia are on the side of the street markets. Local vendors food is the bests, éxitos is the like Walmart / tesco version of generic foods. Also shocked you did not try anything without plantain or yucca. Now that is a staple there. Or even dulce de leche/ areqipe. I feel horrible when you got the Lechona because it is far from the good lechona we eat with rice and guiso or sopas.
And, I do agree with you guys, erpitos are ew. I don't love them either but, I can eat them. And you missed a lot of things like, quipitos, papitas margarita, lecherita, trululú, tostacos, manzana Postobón, bombombun, frunas, barriletes, choclitos, uva postobón, Colombiana, arequipe, etc. Shouts out from Medellín
Just to make it clear... in Colombia nobody eats canned beans or canned lechona; those are things that families do in their houses and that's the true colombian taste in food.
Oh man you guys were sent some nasty stuff that isn't even typically Colombian. Person who sent them the stuff: what kind of a Colombian are you?! We don't eat canned foods except like once a year maybe. The guava and the Mani were like the only typical things.
It’s a shame that Colombian foods weren’t well represented per the many comments. Maybe Barry can have a redo with foods that the viewers think are more representative of Columbia’s snacks.
Guys, you were set up for failure! Who chose those items for you? I [Colombian] have never eaten Colombian food from a can, and let's hope I never have to!! Please don't judge the dishes too harshly until you've had them freshly made! Round 2 video? ;) Also, I love how "Frijoles Antioquenos con tocino" sounds read with their British accents ^^
+My Virgin Kitchen yes it is usally if you go to a colombian shop or cofee cheese it would br raped in cheese i day special seece because you cant just put chedar cheese in it
I'm Colombian and the stuff you got was bad picked
I know right?? there are too many delicious food and snacks
I'm colombian too and I approve this message. :v
they bought the cheapest possible food.
+Wilmer Ariza What can you expect, they bought at "Exito"
donde me dejas el chocorramo? jajaja
"We" in COLOMBIA eat Guava Paste or "Bocadillo" with Cheese (You can use mozzarella cheese)
One thing I can say with conviction is that the combination of salty cheese and sweet guava paste is one of those heavenly combinations.
i had try it is sooooo goooddd
With milk too
And arequipe
Quince paste with cheese is also very good.
If the idea is to taste colombian food i would consider not eating canned food that's so not colombian at all maybe that's why it looks so disgusting, even i was grossed by it and i am colombian
bayron verbel de leon completely agree, everything fresh

I loved the video! Glad you all had fun with it!
im a Colombian and watching this hurts.
Daniela Arredondo makes me cringeeee
Diego Garzón nevermind me gritandole al celular😂
Same.
Me too
"Frijóles Entiokuenos con Tuchino" ... LOL
that blond guy pissed me off whiny and not needed
yeah wtf is he there looks about 15
I'm Colombian and those stuff you guys tried are not even good...
you should send them food! I kinda want to SEE what else there is. and it's obviously good to the one who sent it is all. :)
Lechona and beans are not usally on Cans, probably those taste a lot differente from the reall Baked thing. The industralizacion Fucked our food.
aw, it's sweet how Barry always offers Josh some of whatever they're tasting ^-^
yaaaaas, thank you guys for doing this, much love from Colombia 💘🇨🇴
We have a lot of these in Brazil too... when I was a kid I used to eat (and love) those "marshmallows" all the time, but when I realized what it was made of I never ate it again!
Thank you guy on the right for being so open to trying new food and not whining the whole time!
I love that you all got together for these! Thanks for all the great videos Barry :)
Hey Barry, the little pocket on your jeans are from back in time, when it was usual to have a pocket watch. The watches fitted right in there. They kept tailoring it like this since then.
It's been awhile since I've seen Charlie Mcdonnell, but I remember him being a bit more animated... and fun.
Also used to be better looking. I suppose he's mellowed out now.
I'm cringing every time they try to pronounce those words in Spanish.
Guys you're not supposed to eat lechona out of a can! Wtf is that?
Didn't even know that was a thing!
omg I lived in South America for two years and that first treat you tried was my favorite ... so many memories of the treats from there thank you
I'm colombian and i had never seen canned lechona. Also, those are definitely typical treats, but there are better ones. I could send you some others in case you want to try them.
laughed about the white powder but didnt go for the cocaine joke, as a colombian, I thank thy.
Handle a joke kid. :3

That’s it, you guys. Great video. Greetings from Colombia :)
I'm from Pereira Colombia, and the foods they tried are very distinctive here, yet the canned things are not.
It's fun to try different foods from other places.
Mate!! I’m “catching up” on your videos since discovering you and a core memory was unlocked. Charlie!!
I've had Japanese nuts. I haven't but it sounded euphemistic 😂
slow descend into insanity ft vegetarian Charlie
The blob that was in the beans is pork fat. In Canada, we have beans cooked in molasses with pork and beans in tomato sauce. I prefer the latter. Great show guys!
Wohoooo COLOMBIA 🙌🏼
I bet your tasting videos are the most fun!
great and funny video once again. I woke up with a frown on my face, then I watched your video and my frown turned upside down.
the bocadillo is better with cheese, in Colombia love this mix
Ya know, you're the most normal-looking person there in this video, Barry.
I love the "Tasting .... Treats" videos!
😃😃😃😃Hope to see Barry and James doing another giant food. Hope they are still friends. Both hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Barry, you look as though you're in a prison shower surrounded by two men and engaging in polite chat to escape an awkward situation.
Hahahahahahahaha
I'm glad you enjoy the Colombian candys!
YAYYY COLOMBIA
You need to try the same food but outside of a can, that's a different world! Absolutely! You'll love the taste of a fresh Lechona
This is actually the first time I hear Charlie and Jimmy speaking in Spanish
Eat the boquadillo with cheese and a glass of milk..trust me..I'm not Joking
this was a really good collab u should do this again! Great video! love from norway
the quava shud be eaten with a white cheese. here in nyc we use queso tropical. but any white colombian cheese shud do. make sure its not the "queso para freir" (cheese for frying) tho. i suppose u can eat it with that buts not as soft and crumbly as the regular one.

I'm from Colombia, and I don't know anyone who would be willing to eat canned frijoles
Omg charliessocoollike and jimmy001 are my favorite British bloggers. I can't believe they made this video and I didn't see it before.
Morning Barry. Love your channel.
Great video ! Would you consider making some Welsh food for St David's Day (1st of March) ? Bara Brith or something ? :)
Charlie's disgusted expressions are priceless. I was feeling exactly the same :)
i'm sorry but you guys ae the worts colombian treats, there are one soooooo good.
anyways thanks to the guys in the right for the exciment,
I must be in a silly mood, because I giggled through this whole video too!
lol Barry that little pocket is actually a watch pocket. it's held over from when people carried around pocket watches.
How uncomfortable Charlie looked throughout the entire pork and rice "treat" haha he looked like he was going to throw up 😂 bless
frijoles antioqueños con tocino is literally just beans prepared like they make them in Antioquia (a part of Colombia) with bacon... people have them all the time in Colombia but usually made from scratch and not a can
in spanish Bocadillo is said like boca-deeyo and is a sandwich, sometimes baguette like thing.
+Ethan Gordon It can also mean "snack" and is the diminutive of "bocado", which means "mouthful", which is what I'm guessing the name sake of the product was. "Bocadillo" meaning "sandwich" is typical of Spain and they probably wouldn't use it that way in Columbia.
Samuel Roscoe Oh I see, interesting! - thank you
In Colombia, or at least in the capital, we use the word "bocadillo" to refer only to that guava candy they tasted. It doesn't means anything else than that.
ktsn Thats interesting. What word do you use for this: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a9/Bocadillo_Espa%C3%B1ol.jpg
+LootMule we call it mostly "sandwich"(pronunced "san-duich") or "emparedado"
Reminds me of GoodMythicalMorning (GMM)!
We eat at least once a week beens but not those
Man, I was freaking hungry as I watched this. I haven't had any of that stuff in years. A little thing about lechona. It is a Colombian delicacy.

I enjoyed the heck out of this review. I wonder if these can be ordered on Amazon?
Bocadilo JAJAJAJAJAJA very funny when the people can't pronounce de "ll" an the "rr" 😂
JAJJAAJ, Frijowles antokenos de tucino :v
+My Virgin Kitchen You should try the tamal or the ajiaco, definetely some nICE DELICIOUS plates, also traditional.
Charlie's face with the pork think is hilarious XD
The fact that this video is in stereo drives me crazy for some reason while listening to you using headphones. One second you are on my left ear, then you're suddenly on my right ear and then in between. Going to listen to the rest without headphones.
The little pocket in the jeans is actually for a little pocket watch, there's so much things in life that you don't need to know xD
The odd lumpy thing in the beans is usually pork fatback. These are called pork 'n beans in the states and it looks just like your beans.
bocadillos del éxito 😂 😬
At the factory where they package spam those bits that just don't meet quality control go in a bin for the factory that cans baked beans.
That bit of splodge in the beans is the "queen bean". That, or fatback. But most likely the queen.
The guy on the left reminds me of Dan (not Hardcastle) from Ashen's channel.
+Jack Robinson yeah he reminds me of him too!

that should say Barry. I am forced to voice type so please forgive any typos.
hes vegetarian but eats gelatin? Wtf..
I just want to tell all of Britain that in Spanish double L's make a "Y" sound. They would all stop sounding soooooo white. haha
And, I do agree with you guys, erpitos are ew. I don't love them either but, I can eat them. And you missed a lot of things like, quipitos, papitas margarita, lecherita, trululú, tostacos, manzana Postobón, bombombun, frunas, barriletes, choclitos, uva postobón, Colombiana, arequipe, etc. Shouts out from Medellín
I love jaleas! the white powdery thing.
siii colombia hp🇨🇴😩❤️🌎😍
I had no clue canned lechona existed!! LMAO!!
The guy on the right tried to own the show, didn't like him
I don't like the mugs, too smug.
Next time you guys eat "Bocadillos", add some cheese or some arequipe. Tasteful.
Bocadillos and Herpos are eaten with milk, and you didn't bring choco ramos, which is very famous here.
Just to make it clear... in Colombia nobody eats canned beans or canned lechona; those are things that families do in their houses and that's the true colombian taste in food.
You should do this again with proper Colombian food, all of this are like the cheapest things that you could find in the market.
Can you do more mini food but this time do something Caribbean food
+Laeticia JOSIL mini food is next up not sure what yet though!
Oh man you guys were sent some nasty stuff that isn't even typically Colombian. Person who sent them the stuff: what kind of a Colombian are you?! We don't eat canned foods except like once a year maybe. The guava and the Mani were like the only typical things.
It’s a shame that Colombian foods weren’t well represented per the many comments. Maybe Barry can have a redo with foods that the viewers think are more representative of Columbia’s snacks.
Hey Barry, I just recently turned vegan and thought vegan food would be a cool idea for your next food series:)
Men you got really good Colombian treats.
I feel like it was a pain to subtitle a video with 3 people talking.
+Lost In The Mist haha tell me about it
+My Virgin Kitchen How can I do german subtitles?
+My Virgin Kitchen one more question:how can I send treats to you? can you do another part of tasting german treats?
Never compare this to taking communion!
Guys, you were set up for failure! Who chose those items for you?
I [Colombian] have never eaten Colombian food from a can, and let's hope I never have to!!
Please don't judge the dishes too harshly until you've had them freshly made!
Round 2 video? ;)
Also, I love how "Frijoles Antioquenos con tocino" sounds read with their British accents ^^
oh delights without chocolate !! yum,mmmmm
You can eat those bocadillos with milk! Tastes great!
Bobotie is a South African dish which I think would be a nice thing to cook :)
copelia is also good with milk because its really sweet , the erpitos I've seen it and eaten it but i hated it it dosent taste good
is cool que viva colombia :v
you can eat the guaba cube with cheese but not just any cheese
+Raquel Carrion is it a special type of cheese then
