One of the greatest things about food is how any person from any country can make an adaptation of a classic dish. Hamburger is the perfect example of how with different spices and condiments you can make your own, unique recipe.
We Colombians love flavor and like to add condiments to our food and hamburgers are not an exception. We have a lot of gourmet hamburger restaurants around the country and they are fantastic. Every time I visit Medellín I go to a hamburger restaurant where my mom would take my siblings and me when we were kids. On the table there would be a big bowl of coleslaw and all my favorite condiments, salsa rosada, mayo, ketchup and mustard. My sister and I would load our hamburgers with coleslaw and condiments but my brother on the other hand would just have the bun and the pattie. What a great memory. We really enjoyed ourselves!

Love the burger all loaded up with goodies. I bet it is delicious with coleslaw. I've only had coleslaw on a pulled pork sandwich, but never a burger. Sounds great.

Your hamburger looks delicious and so colorful! The addition of coleslaw is great - in fact, this is a hamburger topping that is quite popular in the Carolinas. Down there, when they order a "Carolina Burger", it automatically means that it's topped with coleslaw. I didn't know it's also the style in Colombia!

Hi Erica,
Yes, I saw this & it got me thinking - is it true that quail eggs are a common topping for hamburgers in Columbia? It looks like a wonderful meal that you made here!
Erica
Hi Taste Traveller,
Quail eggs are a common topping for hot dogs in Colombia, I don't know about hamburgers.
