I just realised that I have talked a fair bit about food in South America but haven\u2019t yet mentioned my favourite place to get a plate of what our Australian cousins would call tucker and my mum would call scran. In truth I don\u2019t have a single favourite place so here are some of those which represent a special memory for me.
\nStreet Toffee in Ecuador<\/strong>
\n The first place I have to mention is Ecuador because this is where I went to learn Spanish<\/a> and where I realised that another world existed to be explored. This is where I first ate plantain bananas and empanadas but one thing stands out in my mind. In the lovely town of Ba\u00f1os they make toffee in the street. The shop owners slap a big blob of pre-toffee (as I like to think you call it) onto a hook and stretch it across the street in a rather brutal manner. Buying a toffee which you have just seen getting bashed about the place is a strange experience and sets you up nicely for the bizarre museum in town.<\/p>\n
