Monkey brains, eel meat, grasshoppers? No, when in Chile...eat like the Chileans. And after seeing these pictures, you will see why it is a NO BRAINER !
Here are some photos of what we are being made to eat.

A fancy looking Chilean salad (lettuce, tomato, and avocado)
Typical Chilean potato salad (less mayonnaise, shredded carrots)
Chilean cabbage and avocado salad
Pastel de Choclo (like a hotdish...made with ground corn, ground hamburger (sometimes chicken), black olives, raisins, and topped with powered sugar for looks.
I am putting my own life in danger for posting this picture (my wife). Here is what I ordered last night at a Chilean restaurant in Antofagasta. Ensalada Chilena (Chilean salad - tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and one hot pepper). A side of Chilean fries (kind of makes McDonald's fries look like toothpicks). A fourth chicken in vegetable soup like sauce. Ginger Ale (my favorite). All for the whopping price of $9 dollars US.
What is the saying? "Save the best for last"
My personal favorite the Chilean Empanada.
A pastie filled with Gouda cheese (mixed with whatever you want: chicken, beef, ham, shrimp, clams, veggies, or bacon).
Also in the picture is Mrs. Chapman's (missionary wife in Antofagasta) very own fresh 100% plum juice. It almost makes me want to give up Coke.

Ok, I know you shouldn't make a spiritual decision based on food alone, but if any of you "feel called" to come and help us in Chile please bow your head and repeat after me.
