You have to "Hunt Out" all those things in parts of Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and West Virginia..
Western Standards is one thing, 3rd world is another, and Central America is mainly developing, and nothing 3rd world about it...
3rd world is Africa, where there is a shortage of food, medicine, water, education, transport, electricity, indoor plumbing, modern communication...
. ofcourse cheap food is available but you gotta hunt & seek it out.
As 90% of the local population makes around $1.00 per hour it isn't necessary to > hunt & see> cheap food, just open your eyes it's right there in the markets, for sale in street stalls, on the buses. Geesh it's all around you, wake up!
I should be more specific. organic food. whole wheat real bread. Sure. fried food is plentiful but everything is sugar laden & added sugar & greasy food
are not my food choices.
Most of the delicious food I eat in Guatemala is very inexpensive and not "sugar laden & added sugar & greasy food". Imo food that is generally only requested by foreign visitors will be more expensive in any country. Come to think of it, organic food and whole wheat bread are more expensive in the US than nonorganic, non whole grain products, too.
i realize organic bread ,dark green lettuce , & popcorn is s more everywhere.
but were not easy to find
Yep. Most of us travel in other countries like Guatemala in order to enjoy the local culture which includes the food. If you go to other countries to enjoy food that is much more readily available back home you are in the minority in my opinion. Seems a little bit like going to a Thai restaurant and ordering pizza to me...
Has anyone had a Mayan treat called a Panucho? It is like a Salbute (sp) but with the refried beans stuffed inside the fresh corn tortilla, toasted in lard and piled with veggies and chicken, fish or meat. Great street food for cheap. I've only found them on the Yucatan so far.

For once I am in 100% agreement with hopefulist, the dude sounds like a whiny tourist should have stayed at home.
¿Curious though on why he's afraid to show Mexican immigration his passport?

Sounds similar to a Salvadorian pupusa only they are cooked on a grill with veggie oil not dunked in grease.
