  • Ah, it’s a Colombian Energy Block of course (I couldn’t resist when I saw it in the shop).

  • We (Colombians) call them bocadillos, which is incidentally what the Spanish call sandwiches. They're even more banging paired up with a mild cheddar or for ultimate on-bike portability, a babybel!

    Those branded lucho dillitos (word play on Luis 'Lucho' Herrera, legendary Colombian cyclist from the late 80s) kinda wind me up though, the plastic wrapper specifically, given the bocadillo already comes wrapped in a leaf, guess it's a must to help them last longer and include nutritional info, etc.

  • The more you know!
    We did all laugh at the blurb about natural leaf packaging, which was encased in plastic. Mental really.

    Worth seeking out other manufacturers? Know of any available in the UK?
