We went with Dad and Tio Mario to ´Jumbo,´the new supermarket across the street from Grandma´s house. It´s pretty incredible for a market. It reminded me of the supermarkets in Japan where everything is nicely arranged and there´s huge sections with bins of fresh food like baked breads, seafood and deli. I took a picture of a portion of the deli section and was planning to take more until Security came and said to stop. Groceries are a little expensive but everything looked more appetizing than the markets at home. There was also a big liquor section with a whole wall of different kinds of pisco and tons of wine. There was no Patron though so couple poin
ts taken off for that.We will go back to the market before we leave to buy little tubs of Manjar - at home we make manjar by boiling cans of condensed milk for 3-1/2 hours (that´s why our electricity bill is so high). Manjar is a milky caramel that you can eat with bread or crackers or just with a spoon - very Chilean. (Tyler-mama is bringing a bunch of manjar home, just for you, my baby!)
