One of the snacks I miss most from my native Colombia is the pandequeso. It’s common to walk around the streets of Colombia and run into the smell of fresh pandequesos from the multitude of bakers. We usually enjoy them with coffee or chocolate, though when it’s warm we like to serve them with soda to quench thirst. They’re so delicious that they go great with nearly anything! What do you eat them with?
