Ha ha. It's sacrilege to drink wine with food like that. Mostly we have been eating reasonably well. There is food available at little "super mercados" all along the way. Most of these are smaller than a mini-Tesco (trying hard to put a UK reference to this) and very rudimentary, some operating out of a residence. Here in Coyhique, and earlier in Puerto Montt, there is a large UniMarc with everything we are used to but most of the way it has been meat of unknown providence, last year's vegetables and, if we are lucky, some shriveled up oranges. However, beer and wine has always been available and they are cheapest things to drink if you discount the water which we often just get from little waterfalls alongside the road. We have cooked every night apart from two but the real challenge is to stop each meal tasting like the previous one - somehow they all seem to contain garlic, chili and tomatoes. The only variable seems to be whether they are served with rice, pasta or dried beans. The one thing I have been eating a lot of, and my wife a lot less so, is "pan", the little (mostly) homemade buns. Empenades are also a great lunchtime or breakfast option, but this is a bit early in the day to employ the corkscrew.
