Anyone who has cycled will know how important food is and the nice thing about cycle touring (as opposed to tramping) is that you can carry more food and you can (usually) buy more food on route. We have definately eaten well and in Bolivia esp. the food has way exceeded our expectations. A wee insight into our cullinary habits…

Breakfast (desayuno) – when camping it is either cereal (but hard to get in Bolivia except in the form of bags of large popped maize (corn – jo´s fav), yoghurt, banana or sometimes bread and eggs

2nd Breakfast (street food) – worst/best example depending on your point of view was fried chips, llama and chorizo or if we can talk someone into making it for us eggs and bread

Lunch (almuerzo) – in a town we often get the almuerzo familiar. This consists of primero course of Sopa (creme of quinoa is popular) and second course of rice, meat, veges. On the road where possible we have bread/crackers, eggs, cheese (in Bolivia small rounds of hand made white probably feta type cheese – yum), tomato

Dinner (cena) – our staple camping meal is pasta, tin of fish, sachet of mayonaise and if lucky garlic or onion or olive. One pot, delicous, yet to get sick of it and a power feed. Where we can get potato flakes, our other staple is potato flakes, tomato sauce and chopped chorizos. We haven´t seen dried potato in Bolivia – perhaps and insult to a potato growing nation. In small towns with no restaurants the standard seems to be fried chicken and chips from a street vendor (Alan´s fav.)

And then there is the very rare occasion like in Oruro where jo found chocolate eclairs and gateaux…
