Hungry Anyone?

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE FOR LUNCH?



There are definitely a variety of foods that you can purchase on the streets from vendors.

Cashews and batatas (potatoes)

The ice cream man

Ready to serve a new pig every day.

Coffee anyone?

True story.  We were in Santo Domingo.  We brought a few people up to an employment seminar.  

One of the men that we brought has his own electronics store.  On our way home he wanted to stop

in a particular store to purchase supplies for his own shop.  While we were sitting in the car this man

(see photo above) pushes an old grocery shopping cart up to the store.  He was hoping to make a sale.

He didn't notice that I had my camera and was taking photos of him from inside the truck.  The man put 

his hand inside the bag of plastic cups.  Not wanting to sell any coffee with floaties in it, he turned the

cup upside down, shook out the dust, then proceeded to use his shirt to wipe the cup clean.  Now that

is what I call a concerned employer.  Just wanting his customers to have the best.  He then poured the 

coffee in the cup, put a lid on it and walked inside the building to sell his cup of coffee.  When he came

out empty handed, I knew he had made his sale.  Someone in the building was glad to have a nice cup

of hot coffee. 

              Pig, sausages, chicken and your guess is as good as mine.  No refrigeration necessary, just slice and serve.

              The food stays at "room temperature" all day.  Hmmm, maybe there is wisdom in the rule that missionaries are not                 to eat from street vendors.

                                                           Make sure you wash your fruit before you eat it.

                                                        Take your pick, avocados, oranges, or whatever is in season.
