What to eat ?

Food we had in Ecuador was pretty good.  This was wonderful seafood dish with rice, salad, and a fried something (often plantains).

    The dish in the upper left of this photo has Fava beans (nicely seasoned) and Queso cheese, with an ear of corn (very large kernels).
     Upper right dish shows a  "platos tipicos"  which means  Typical plate of food.  It was usually rice, salad or vegetable, beef or chicken and often a bit of fried plantain or yucca.

This barbequed chicken on a skewer was quite tasty, served on a bed of french fries.  Notice the bit of sausage on the end.  The small food stall in Puembo had one choice on the menu.

This was a lovely lunch after a couple days of trail snacks and sandwiches.  Grilled Tilapa with vegetables and fried Yucca.  The restaurant is in a special place overlooking Rio Blanco.  Bird feeders and open bananas attract many birds to the patio for easy viewing.
