It’s part of a traditional English/Irish breakfast/heart attack.

It reminds me of Bandeja Paisa, which is a very traditional lunch in Colombia

Chicharrón, though that particular one is weirdly pale

Blood sausage? That's black pudding, you rubes.

Ah! Have heard of it many times, never actually eaten on. But it's basically a tamale without the husk, right?

Day one of rating my hotel breakfasts. This is the first of two hotels I'm staying at in Colombia. The less nice one. I was surprised by how hearty the breakfast was. They had chicharrones, patacon, bollo, all kinds of fried meats. Too much. I grabbed myself a portion of the calentao (this messy but delicious mix of rice, eggs, beans, ground beef and chorizo) and some slices of platano dulce (sweet fried plantain). I put some hot sauce in the calentao and it was fantastic.

As for drinks, they had a wide selection of juices. I couldn't resist the pull of nostalgia and served myself a glass of agua panela, which I hadn't had since I was a kid. After tasting it again, I remembered why. I don't really like it. I'm gonna go for the passion fruit juice tomorrow. Skipped the coffee. Even in Colombia, not really a coffee guy.

Overall this breakfast was excellent. I was tempted by the chicharrones and various fried pastries but I can't stand a lot of fried stuff in the morning. The agua panela was bad, but that's on me. 8/10, a good start, and I expect very different from my hotel breakfasts in the states in a few days.
