Part of living on the mission field is learning to enjoy new foods and new ways to eat food. This is one dynamic in learning a new culture. We are happy to announce that adapting to Chilean food has NOT been a problem for our family. The following are sample pictures of what we are "forced" to eat on a regular basis. ;)
Chileans love their tomato salads (with cilantro and oil).
Cookouts are taken seriously here...it's like an art form.
The meat is cooked over the burning coals from the fire. Notice that Andy (in the hat) is shoveling fresh coals from the fire and putting them underneath the racks of meat. This insures that the meat is cooked slow for maximum flavor.
Speaking of flavor...there's no A-1 steak sauce used here. The meat is marinated with seasonings (like the garlic seen above) before it is cooked.
Potato salad in Chile is made (and tastes) a little differently, but is very good.
The meat is finished and ready to be eaten.
Popcorn at fun night was a special treat for everyone. Popcorn is not a common snack here in Chile.
The tradition at conference is for the teens to wash the dishes throughout the week. Of course, there is a "tip" jar to show your appreciation for their work.
There are many things we would love to make for you if you come down for a visit. We are confident that you will like many of the Chilean meals.
