Many people ask about Bolivian Food. I found this blog Notes on Living (Bolivia Edition) which has a nice blurb:

Food: Saltenas are big in the morning, empanadas in the afternoon (after 3 p.m.). People here like to eat! Lots of food, all the time, 5 meals a day. Coffee is instant and horrendous, but fresh fruit juice (blackberry, peach, lemonade) is abundant and must be consumed. Lots of meat and more meat, very little seafood (due to no coast). Lots of crusty bread and pastries.

Bolivian food is good and bad.. depends on what you're eating. If you get the right stand on the side of the road, you can get awesome awesome food. If not, you can get a horrible stomach ache.

Salteņas are eaten lots and they're sold everywhere. They are the best thing you've ever tasted and come in meat, chicken or cheese.

Other awesome food is these corn fritter things that are cooked with cheese inside a corn leaf. You just peel off the leaf and scoop out the inside once it's cooked.

Lots and lots of fruit juice!! It's really weird if you're not used to it, but it's always on the table for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Coke is something lots of people drink on a special occasion or when out with friends.

hey bolivian food is good and it doesent have seafood in it its just if you dont have the culture of bolivia you wont like anything if you are the culture youll love it tourists always say that!

this does not help!
