Felt like a good day to celebrate that I was born in Colombia (to a Colombian mom & an Italian dad ), raised in the US, and I wouldn’t be the person I am today without that mix!! I’m proud of my background and grateful every day for the cultures that shaped me. We live in a global community, and I’ll always celebrate and fight for that. I wouldn’t have the career I have in food if it weren’t for my heritage ❣️🇨🇴🇮🇹🇺🇸 Now back to the food part and the reason you’re watching this video — Gelatina de Pata is a Colombian handmade taffy-like sweet made using collagen extracted from a whole cow’s leg. The collagen is extracted by boiling the leg and then it is mixed with panela (raw sugar cane, similar to molasses) and hand pulled until achieving a stretchy spongy texture. It’s so good!!! . . . . . — #colombianfood #comuna13 #gelatina #gelatinadepata #travelgram #streetfood #travelust #colombia #medellinfood
