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.

Thanks to Anina2007 - aka Ana - for sharing this! She says: the “alfajor de maicena” is made of two layers of cookies (made with corn starch, eggs, etc) stuck together with lots of dulce de leche and sprinkled with grated coconut. A perfect match for cafe au lait.
