Had a couple of sweets for the first time today, the first being Gelatina de Pata (
literally translated as foot jelly), made of cow's cartilage mixed with sugarcane syrup.

While at
Pueblito Paisa, we came across a guy "pulling" a white substance and it seemed as if he was making noodles or pasta out of it! Kelly bought a serving of it, and I had a few bites, which tasted really good. I would never have guessed that this was made of cartilage just from the look as well as the taste!

| Lots of toffee apple! |
The second sweet I had was toffee apple.
I think I must have a deprived childhood as this is the 1st time I had one. I had seen it being sold in a few other places in
Colombia and finally decided to buy one today while walking along the river to admire the light-up.
It was definitely sweet on the outside, and as it used a whole green apple on the inside, the green apple gave it a really nice tangy taste to the sweet candy coating. I like it!
