From the Grocery Store

Posted in Ecuador

A couple of days ago Anna and I went on our weekly trip to the grocery store. We have very modern grocery stores here even though there are only two main grocery store chains. However, there are a few things different about our stores in what they sell. I had my cell phone with me and took some pictures thinking you might like to see. Enjoy!


First of all, this is where we shop for our weekly purchase. The name takes some getting used to but now I don't think twice about it.



Tuna is hugely popular but not usually eaten at night (it will make you sick :)). They do all kinds of things with tuna here including making a puree of it in the blender in order to make it stretch a little farther. You can buy them in cans that range from about 6 oz. to a couple of pounds. they come in cans bigger than the one shown but this was the biggest they had that day.




Tomato paste is another item that comes in jumbo sized cans. The small can is the only size I have ever bought. I've never had a recipe that used more. It's a popular ingredient for how they make spaghetti sauce.




Here in Ecuador one drinks, not eats, yogurt.





You can probably tell what this is. It's a frozen pig. It was in the freezer section below the apple pies. I've always been curious as to who buys these and what they do with them.

my DH in the room and show him your post. We were both laughing at the frozen pig. If you ever find out what they do with it , I'd love to know. LOL.
