Eating Chilean

I'll take a moment to break in the sequence of events to talk about food. Chilean food is not Tex-Mexican or anything like that. I've probably had more American food than anything, but I've seen that Chile takes their bread and fruits and vegetables seriously. There are bakeries and produce stands everywhere.

Chileans like to eat breakfast, then have their biggest meal at lunch (which is between 1-3pm), and then have an once (ohn-ce: the word "eleven" in spanish...even though it's later) around 8 or 9pm which consists of coffee and bread or pastries.

One thing that I've loved is that Empanadas are EVERYWHERE. It's a fact that I have been craving these stuffed goodies for the past month. Now I'm getting spoiled because they just don't make them like this in the states (or at all!) Empanadas are kindof like a hot pocket. They can be stuffed with meat, cheese, veggies, etc. Usually there's a surprise inside like an egg or black olive. So good!
