We are a group of three vegetarians and one vegan- los quatro (four in Spanish) with unique dieting habits. The Chile trip began with skepticism which got further endorsed on the American Airlines (AA) flight. AA served us with a scanty vegetarian dinner and only fruits for breakfast. At that point in time, the least we knew was that there were multiple pleasant surprises in store for us in Chile.It has been the fourth day since we are in Chile and all four of us feel that Chile is a food lovers’ paradise. From the Chilean ‘Pappanas’ (a local dish of chick peas in pumpkin curry) to Spanish Tapas, from Lebanese hummus and Falaphal to Mexican Fajita one had a huge choice of tasty vegetarian food. In between all this one was treated to an exotic Chilean drink called ‘Pico Sour’ – a whisky based drink. This drink tastes even better over discussions on American slang (Thank you Jeff)
The entire trip has been an enjoyable knowledgeable enhancing experience. I was particularly impressed with the first meeting with Mr. Magendzo a senior official at the Central Bank of Chile. This was an eye opening meeting which changed my perception about Chile. Till then, here is Sushil signing off.
