Bogota-licious

Recently, I found out I'll be travelling with a fellow teacher to Bogota on business. Not knowing too much about this City, I decided to do a little reading and was surprised to learn a few Bogota-licious factoids: Aside from having the best pre-columbian collection of gold in the world, more plant species per unit area than any other country in the world, 80% of the world's cocaine production, and 50% of the world's emeralds, it also names the "Hormiga Culona" as one of it's regional dining specialties. Translation: Big-ass Ants. Although this is unique to the Santander area, it can be found in certain regional restaurants along with another South American specialty, grilled guinea pig or "cuy." Although we consider ourselves fairly adventurous eaters having savored gusanos de maguey in Mexico City, tripe, lip, and other "head" tacos here in Vallarta, and the ubiquitous Menudo (everyone's fave for a hang-over) we aren't sure about the "cuy" but we are toying with the idea of trying the hormigas. When in Rome...(I'll keep "foodies" posted.)
