Food

The all important food. I am off and on about the food sometimes i like it sometimes i dont.  and yes i have eaten meat =( but if i can avoid it i do. But here they dont make food without meat.  A lot of people i have talked to take pride of the meat in Bolivia they say that you can get it cheap and it is good meat.  to me all meat is bad meat but whatever.  I think the weirdest think i have had so far is peanut soup.  it was odd but very good none the less.  they do in fact have oreos and peanutbutter here.  Weird things about the food.  they have their milk in bags not in cartons.  and they drink yogurt.  its like do you want juice milk or yogurt to drink? hmm the first night my sister asked me if i wanted yogurt with dinner and i said yes and then my brother asked me i wanted juice and i said yes and then they gave me a weird look and were like well which one do you want and i was like uhh yogurt? and then i had to look around during dinner and see what they did with their yogurt so i didnt look like a fool eating it with a spoon.. because they did drink it.  Oh i have learned to eat things that i really hate.. my host family knew i was veggie so they were so very nice to make me a pasta dish with mushrooms in it... I hate mushrooms so much they make me gag.  But i didnt want to be rude so i had to eat all the mushrooms and it was so nasty i almost died. but i did it and i didnt barf.  Then a few days later they served an omelet for breakfast.  oh dear i hate eggs too.. again i didnt want to be rude so i ate it all... i have found that if you take really small bites and swallow it without chewing its not that bad.  all and all im not starving so im good.
