Last month, Dave had just arrived on the coast, and I was boarding a plane to NY for my best friend’s wedding.
We were BBMing when Dave began bragging about how he just ate the best fish he ever had (pargo).
Of course, I had to try to one up him so I started bragging that I was fully loaded with different Colombian sweets and treats in my back pack such as Mani Moto (of course Mani Moto is not nearly as good as coastal fish, but it was something).
And, to my horror and surprise, Dave, our famous Medellín guide who has been here for 3 years, had never tried Mani Moto.
That is when I decided to write a post about the different sweets and treats you should try while walking around Medellin.
Another reason I want to share this with you is because many tiendas do not allow you to go inside. They have counters in front of their store, and usually a cute old man waiting to take your order, and serve you.
Since many of you have probably never been inside one of these tiendas, you may not know what to ask for.
Try asking for one of these:

Mani Moto is japanese style peanuts invented by a japanese immigrant in Mexico. In Mexico they are called cacahuete japones. You can also by them in japanese grocery stores, but they're not called mani moto. Mother are not a Colombian invention. They have a hint of soy sauce too
