1. Obviously CIA photoshopping. Haven't you heard about

the interminable lines in Bogota to wait to try to get toilet paper or the near-riots because of the severe shortage of potatoes in Lima?

2. I remember HUGE avocados and skinned guinea pig

And milk in a bag, and, yes, so many varieties of potatoes.

One of my favorite things when I've traveled is to go look around a supermarket. More culturally informative and fascinating than almost any museum.

ETA: This was Peru.

5. Guinea Pig? Don't they have little meat and lots of bones?

At least, that's what I estimate for such a small animal. IMO that little bit of meat would not be worth the hassle.

6. Guinea pig is eaten quite a bit in Peru and Ecuador "cuy"

they are not real meaty but a whole one definitely more than enough. Its ok, nothing great IMO. Tried llama too. Very strong taste. I like goat though.

3. Wide aisles!

Them must have gremlins restock as soon as someone removes something from a shelf.
