Pairing Changua correctly — a note on lulada lulo fruit drink
Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Changua. I ordered it with lulada lulo fruit drink and the savoury and satisfying elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. chicharrón pork rinds in particular became more prominent in a good way.
the bandeja paisa plate is a point of Antioquian cultural pride. The a Bogotá corrientazo lunch counter is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Changua with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
