Eating Republica Dominicana

Submitted by eagle on Fri, 08/02/2019 - 12:24

Throughout my stay in Republica Dominicana so far, I've had travel-related digestion issues. Not sure if it's the tap water, the fruits, or something else.

While traveling, I like to try local foods, or any that I haven't seen before. One funny phenomenon I've seen in a number of places is large multinationals advertising as if they're local. Fast food, soft drinks, snacks, etc., are often marketed to appeal to local tastes, sometimes even going for the wrong impression of being local.

I'm about to eat some combination plantain/yucca/crackling chips I bought while shopping. The packaging advertises them as appropriate for eating while playing dominos or soccer.

They're a mix of the different snacks, I thought they'd be one snack mixing the different types.
