Breakfast!

Breakfast in Bolivia is a traditional meal throughout the country(wise geek.com). An average Bolivian will begin their day with a sweetened corn and cinnamon drink called api. Along with it people will enjoy either an empanada, a pocket pastry filled with cheese or other ingredients, or what’s known as a saltena. Saltenas are a national dish, a pocket pastry often filled with beef or chicken, peas, potatoes, onions, olives, raisins, and an egg. They are similar to our hot pockets or pot pies(rocoto.com). They say you can’t miss a saltena shop on the streets of any Bolivian city(bolivia bella.com).
