Hey Big Ass!

I've been reading about Colombian cuisine and wanted to take full part in it.  The bandeja paisa is the most common, seen here:

Nothing too crazy, aside from a generally filling plate.  I think that  the long, yellowish thing is Yucca or a plantain, but I can't be sure.  It's pretty good, either way.  The meat on this dish is fried pork ribs, but it all tastes like bacony goodness.

Next up, everyone's favourite appetizer: arepas. Some sort of flattened dough-like vessel for carrying butter or guacamole.  These are sometimes served alongside maduros (plantains, which I'm a sucker for), or these other things that I can't find online right now.  They taste like bacon and flour or something mixed together and fried.  For now, here are arepas:

For dessert, I had this delicious dish called Brevas con queso, which is something special.  It's a nice light dessert, shared by those at the table. With a spoon, you hack off a little piece of the breva - which is a fruit only available in Colombia.  Then, you spoon a little bit of that cheese and put it all together with the caramel - Argentina calls it dulce de leche, Chile calls it manjar, the Colombians call it arequipe.  No matter the name, it's delicious.  The real nice thing about it is that it is a pretty small portion, so you only get a couple bites.  The magic is that you share it with your friends at the table.

So all of these are delicious, and I've had some other pretty good stuff, but what really has me intrigued are hornigas culonas.  Translation:  Big Ass Ants.  I'm serious.  I'll spare you the details, but the short version is that I'm interested in this.  I've asked around and the only person that I know has tried them is my man Gonzalo...of course!  He tells me that they are delicious, but they are found in the north near Santander.  We are not close to this, but he thinks he might know where we can get some in Medellín.  So I'm pumped!

How is this title appropriate?  Yesterday I was walking with Santiago and his IT assistant, Diana.  She was walking ahead of me down a hill and I decided to ask her if she had tried hornigas culonas before.  Of course, she didn't hear the "hornigas" part, only the "culonas" part, so she turns and says "what??"  Once I repeated my question, Santiago, who was laughing the whole time, stops me and says "here's what happened" and explains that she only heard the big ass part.  Clearly, I won't be making too many friends on this trip.
