A quick word on street food
Street food is the heart and soul of travel. I didn't leave my home and my loved ones to eat at McDonalds. I want to eat what the locals eat. I want to taste the food that sustains the working man, and the treats that delight young children. I want it all.
The Adventure
One full day left in La Paz, Bolivia where street food is plentiful (and mysterious).
A) Do I go for it and taste the street delicacies?
B) Should I play it safe and stick to the gringo food joints, avoiding the potentially painful and inconvenient aftermath?
Inner monologue:
After spending almost nearly a year of my life in the developing world, I should have a stomach of steel, right? Then again, I did spend about 6 weeks crapping my brains out during "Jason and Yesh Do South America". (I looked awesome after that trip, though.) Hmmmm...
Responses welcome.
Travel Food God, Anthony Bourdain on street food.
"My Namibian warthog experience with the Bushmen of the Kalahari caused an unplanned Dr.'s visit about a week later--and a long course of antibiotics. Other than that, most problems are either temporary (extra time in the bathroom) or alcohol related. Nothing serious."
