Estas guascas son lo que le dan ese sabor tan carcteristico al ajiaco cierto ? pero sin pasarse creo, ya que algunos ajiacos que he provado tenian un sabor muy fuerte quiza por esceso de esta hieva, al igual que cuando se hacen las cremas con apio y se le añade demasiado apio luego tiene ese sabor tan invasivo a apio que no me gusta nada. Viva Colombia !
Ju,
Si, las guascas le dan el sabor perfecto al ajiaco!
