**  **In Bolivia, lunch is the main meal of the day. This meal is usually served with soup, a main dish, and possibly even dessert. During the week, workers try to make it home to eat lunch. The main food of the Bolivians diet is the potato. Potatos are eaten with almost every meal and are sometimes served with rice or noodles. Bolivia has a wide variety of dishes that consist of meat, fish, or poultry with spices. These dishes also include fresh fruits and vegetables. The main meats of Bolivia are beef, pork, chicken, and fish. Occasionally you will see goat, llama, or even cuy(guinea pig) offered. Bolivians eat a lot more pork than people in the United States or Canada do. Bolivian food is not spicy and sometimes reffered to as bland. Sometimes you will be offered a sauce, la llajwa (tomato and hot chilies) to spice up the dish. **
