Yeah that's not happening very well down here. Yesterday we finally found a vegetarian restaurant though, not too far from our place- just a hop, skip, and a subway ride away. The food was interesting- definitely needed some spice. That's the thing that is missing in la comida down here: SPICE! haha. I would kill for some sri racha, cholula, and tapatio. You'd think since we're in South America things would be a little more flavorful...I mean, hello, sabor latino??? ha. Maybe that's just Mexico though. At any rate, we both had some version of what I call pumpkin vegetable lasagna. I should have taken a picture of it. Mine was filled with squash, then topped with cheese and covered in pumpkin sauce, while Mark's was basically a broccoli casserole topped with a thick layer of pumpkin, then smothered in pumpkin sauce. They love their calabaza down here (pumpkin, in case you didn't catch that). It's in all of their tarts, which are basically the same thing as quiche. Tasted pretty good though, and was certainly a nice change to the usual miga, capresse sandwich, pizza, or whatever jamon y queso concoction out of the 15 on the menu we accidentally order.
It's amazing how long I can talk about food. But really, isn't that the biggest part of travel, the food? You gotta eat, and you hope what you're eating is recognizable at the very least :P
