Food for Thought (in Paraguay)

Buffets - they're in all the restaurants, cost is per kilo. We've never seen so many buffets.

Japanese food - who knew there were Japanese colonies here?  

Mandioca - also known as yuca. Not to be confused with yucca. They taste like a cross between yucca and potato. 

Tereré - cold maté. Rules are to drink until you hear a slurping noise then pass it to be refilled and onto the next person. 

Sopa paraguaya - not actual soup. It's cornbread!

Chipa guazu - kinda like the sopa paraguaya but creamier and eggier. 

Empanadas - can't get enough of these. They also have pastel mandi'o. They are similar to empanadas but the pastry part is made from mandioca.

Milanesa - these are kinda everywhere in South America but we saw so many locals eat these breaded meats.
