Saltenas--Breakfast of Bolivians

A popular breakfast or morning snack in Bolivia is a saltena. They are sweet dough filled with chicken, potatoes, peas, hot sauce (optional) and broth. One morning Grant and I went out to a little shop and had saltenas and strawberry milkshakes. This would never become a popular breakfast anywhere in the states in my estimation but we enjoy the combo very much even for breakfast.

This is the most popular chain for saltenas. It's like a little garage and the owner was chasing dogs out of the store the whole time we sat there. A rooster wandered in at one point as well :)
