Peruvian Foods

We live near a big supermarket, so we buy most of our food there. At first glance, the supermarket looks a lot like those in the US, but upon inspection, they have packaged their foods quite differently. Here are a few of the foods from the supermarket and from local bakeries.

One of our favorite things about Peru: The wonderful rolls, which, to a first approximation, are free. Okay, they do cost something, but very little. They are fabulous.

Mayonnaise, juice, and milk are sold in non-refrigerated boxes. They are delicious.

The cookies and crackers are also great. Here are our favorites:

We stopped at a local baker and ate hot apple stroodle. Yummy!
