Huge farmers market. This was a stall of the reconstituted potatoes. Chuño or tunta. You get black and white versions.

There are two big chocolatiers in Sucre. This one is smaller and has a more home made feel. Ed got the heart (obviously hehe) and I choose the really light mousse filled truffle. Can't remember name of this store.

Jelly bought on the bus back from the farmers market. Really refreshing and nicely balanced fruit jelly. I was expecting a crazy sugar rush but it was really well made.

Farmers market This is the king of fruit shakes. They call it the multivitamin. It has every fruit and vegetable on the stand. Oats and a raw egg (we declined this) Carrots Beetroot a type of passion fruit orange papaya ... (see other post for photo) Felt like I'd topped up my goodness factor by 10. Also I love drinking drinks this colour. Beetroot is an underused vegetable.

We went to the farmers market on the other side of town. On the street up to the market were loads of chicken and chips sellers. Three huge chickens had just finished roasting so we took a seat and shared this. Chicken was slightly stringy but that great fatty burnt flavour of spit roast chicken. Finger licking good and a really spicy sauce to go with it.
