'''Bolivian cuisine''' stems mainly from the combination of [[Spanish cuisine]] with traditional Indigenous [[Aymara people|Aymara]]/[[Quechua|Inca]] ingredients, with later influences from [[Germans]], [[Italians]], [[Basques]], [[Russians]], [[Poles]], and [[Arabs]] due to the arrival of immigrants from those countries. The three traditional staples of Bolivian cuisine are [[corn]], [[potatoes]], and [[beans]]. These ingredients have been combined with a number of staples brought by the Spanish, such as [[rice]], [[wheat]], and meat, such as [[beef]], [[pork]], and [[Chicken (food)|chicken]]. |

==Mealtimes== |
|||
===Lunch (''almuerzo'')=== |
|||
''Almuerzo'' is the most important meal of the Bolivian day, so much so that daily life tends to revolve around it. Long lunches are traditional throughout the country, so businesses and shops often close between the hours of 12 and 3 pm, so that the workers have time to return home for lunch. A typical Bolivian lunch would consist of several courses, including a soup, a main course of meat, rice, and potatoes, then a dessert and coffee.<ref>[http://www.bolivia-guide.com/about-bolivia.php?id=80&tid=td2 Traditional Cuisine]. bolivia-guide.com Retrieved 2012-03-22</ref> Lunch is taken at a leisurely pace and is traditionally followed by a nap, the often-referred ''[[siesta]]''. |
|||
===Teatime (''té'')=== |
|||
Strangely, and very much like the [[United Kingdom|British]], Bolivians observe an afternoon tea break. Usually the tea breaks take place around 4 and 5 pm at [[:es:Salón de té|salones de té']] (tea rooms). These tea rooms often double as bakeries so that tea and pastries are enjoyed together.<ref>[http://www.boliviabella.com/bolivian-food-customs.html Bolivian Food Customs and Traditions]. BolivianBella.com Retrieved 2012-03-22</ref> Cups of [[black tea]] are usually taken with [[biscuits]] such as [[Galletas Maria]]. Often, Bolivians drink [[yerba maté]] in place of the more common black tea. |
|||
===Dinner (''la cena'')=== |
|||
''La cena'' is a lighter, much more informal affair than lunch that typically takes place at usually 8 pm or later. |
