I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so many starchy/carbohydrate-rich foods in one day in my life! I've come to the conclusion that about 85% of Guatemalan meals (or atleast the meals with our host family) are grains/breads and starchy vegetables. Let’s take yesterday for example:
Breakfast: A sweet roll AND a huge piece of bread w/ our omelet
Lunch: Spaghetti, more bread, AND cake
Dinner: Spaghetti (leftovers from lunch), even more bread, black beans, and plantains (even though I didn’t even eat these! LOL!)
Whoa! Talk about carb loading! But you know what…my Grandma Camp would be proud! She always said that anyone could survive off of bread and butter. I sure am eating a whole lot of it AND I’m surviving, so I guess she was right! However, eating a lot of starchy foods can stop you up quite easily, if you know what I mean, especially if you're not used to eating so many! And that is definitely no fun!
