Colombian barbeque

Thanks to progresivo for sharing this photo of a piqueteadero in Tenjo, Colombia. He writes ‘eater’s discretion is advised’. Sounds like good advice!

From Wikipedia a piqueteadero is a typically Colombian restaurant selling meat for picnics (called piquetes in Colombian). We’d love to know more - Colombians please tell us.

Well, piquete is a term used mostly in Bogotá and the surrounding region regarding a barbecue, all sorts of meat cuts and meat related food are grilled there, such as morcilla, chicharrón, hígado, etc. I’ve never been able (or been brave enough) to try them all

Thanks for the explanation! I never heard the term piquete used in Spain (not with this meaning anyway!)

In the UK we have something similar to morcilla, I think, called black pudding. I’ve never been brave enough to try that

Black pudding and white pudding are some of my favorite breakfast meats; there’s a soccer pub in Chicago that serves them. Tons of flavor. In Chile, they called a piquete a “Parrillada”, though they were usualy small grills served tableside. Blood sausage = Mouth is watering!
