Some Chilean streetfood …

1) sopapillas - fried bread made of flour and salt with pumpkin used for coloring

2) pieces of pork, hot dog and chorizo on a stick, cooked over small parillas on the street

3) mote con huesillos - dried peaches are rehydrated in water for hours; the peach-flavored water is then sweetened with sugar before the peaches and wheat are mixed in

4) empanada de pino - baked empanada with meat, hard-boiled eggs, onion and spices. similar to Argentine meat empanadas but with a wetter, almost gravy-like filling

5) the street cart is filled with nalca, Chilean rhubarb, which looks like sugar cane inside and out, but is bitter. In southern Chile, people buy several-inch long pieces of it with the skin removed and eat it raw.

6) salsa pebre (the red sauce also seen next to the sopapillos in the first photo) - a delicious hot sauce served with pretty much everything, made of tomatoes, onions, peppers and some other spices
