la comida

Okay, I have to devote this blog to food. Everyone in Chile is on a diet and they have no idea what a diet is. A diet here consists of substituting the dreaded “azucar” with aspartame. So even though my host mom will eat pan galore, she diets by using fake sugar. Pan is for breakfast with jams and cheese and ham, and for lunch, with soup and salad and the main meat course, and with all the onces or teas with butter and jam, and with dinner in sandwiches. Chile loves bread as much as I do!
