Latacunga

So I had a great time hanging around in Cuenca for the last few days with Max and Malin.
Today I got an 8.5 hour bus to Latacunga.

Equadorian food.
Good value is to be had with a lunch menu of the day.
This typically cost about 1 dolar and consists of soup, a main cource and juce.
The soup can be quite tasty often with odd things like chicken feet or spine in it, mmmm.
The juice is quite good often from fruits that we don´t have at home.
The main course can be quite dull with rice some salad and meat or chicken.
In equador the definition of meat or chicken can be a bit broader however.
With "meat" you never really know what cut or even animal you will get.
Today my "chicken" turned out to be two big lumps of chicken fat, mmm, really no flesh, skin or anything edible.
Other popular roadside food option include ginny pig or a whole pig where you get lumps cut out of it´s back, mmm.
