Apparently I’m not the only one entranced by different foods when traveling. A few more of my favorite photos of Bolivia dining:

salty fava beans

Rehydrated fava beans. They have a nutty flavor and are wonderful.

peeling potatoes

Peeling potatoes. She didn’t want me to take a photo of her face.

crepes, bolivian style

Cooking crepes, Bolivian style.

tamales, bolivian style

Tamales, ala Bolivia.

the many types of Bolivian banans

They said they had 40 different types of bananas in Bolivia. I only tried a couple, but the texture and flavor varied wildly. I like the little, super sweet yellow ones best.

tried and true

A typical lunch scene.

welcome to our meeting

One of many community meals I was presented. This one was incredibly good: goat cheese, hard boiled eggs, llama jerky, peanut drink, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes and salad. I didn’t eat the salad, but tried everything else.

what's for lunch

Catch of the day.

traditional stove, cu

A traditional Bolivian stove and kitchen. Makes me appreciate the age-old stove I am working with, even if the temperature is incredibly off. I don’t have to find firewood!
