Food for Thought (in Bolivia)

Jugo naturale - natural fruit juice. Bolivia's climate gives way to a variety of fresh fruits year round.  We can't stop drinking juice.  

Some other awesome fruits we've encountered are:

  Chirimoya - outside looks like a green dragon egg but the inside is sweet and milky. 

  Maracuyá - passion fruit. a little sweet and a little tart

  Tumbo - banana passion fruit. It's a longer version of the passion fruit. 

Mocochinchi - dehydrated peach cider. We saw giant plastic containers of these on the streets and couldn't help but try one. Nice and sweet and full of cinnamon. 

Chuflay - Sangani mixed with a Sprit or 7-Up. Sangani kind of tastes like a mix of pisco and rakia, burns just the right amount. 

Sopa de mani - potato and peanut soup. Doesn't taste much like peanuts like we had assumed. We got the option of adding a chicken foot in our soup - Peter chickened out. 

Salteña - a juicy meat filled pastry.  These are really good, like REALLY good. 

Pique a lo macho - an assortment of beef, sausage, fries, and salad. It's unexpectedly cold.
