Description
We'll visit a local market to sample local drinks and foods, you will discover the history of our Cali's cuisine.
You will discover the history of a culinary heritage that the Spanish colonizers brought along with the mixture of the stoves of the black slaves of Africa and the indigenous groups that were here before the Colony period.
Of course, this mix of cuisines is not over yet, as proposals and preparations continue to arrive from all over America and the world. It is the most palpable proof of the characteristics that imprint one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the strictest sense. That is, a city in which all those who arrive contribute and, in our case, put their piece in the fabulous pot of Valle del Cauca cuisine.
However, we must reduce this enormous culinary wealth to popular and traditional cuisine, which has given us a particular characteristic and a name associated with what for four hundred years has been fused into the deepest traditions of the people of Cali, those who speak of you, who have in the "look, see" one of the most picturesque linguistic regionalisms, and dedicate more time than normal to their cooking.
In that order of ideas, it is necessary to establish a small methodology that allows us to find the roots of popular Cali food. It refers to the definitive influence of the three great races that gave way to the mestizaje that characterizes the city founded 479 years ago and officially by a Spanish conqueror, in an indigenous territory where black slaves arrived during the colonial times.
It is that city that began to develop rapidly at the beginning of the 20th century and even today continues to include more and more immigrants who arrived for the most varied reasons. Although many of them still bring to the table what they learned in their places of origin, they are irremediably captivated by what the Indians, the whites and the blacks formed in the food of the capital of Valle del Cauca.
