Though it's pretty much always a craps shoot, the street food here has proven to be largely delicious. There are plenty of exotic looking fruits, deliciously fried goodies, and unidentifiable types of sausage. This is a picture of a very Costeñan treat, thick fried arepa (doughy cornbread) filled with cheese. The arepa is delicious but they put so much margarine in them I could choke.
You can wash it down with one of the myriad types of juice available here. This kind is made from a tiny citrus fruit that's native to the region. It looks like a small lime but is much pulpier has a huge seed in the middle. They sweeten it, chill it, and ladle it copiously into plastic cups for you. I always end up spilling some.

maybe this is what is making americans fat -- in other nations, people have to walk to their fast food.
