COOKERY IN BOLIVIA.
The National Dish, Chupe, and How
1t Is Prepared.

me SattOnnl DISH, Shupe, ana HOW
1t Is Prepared.
Tie stoves of the Bolivian Indians
are curious things. A hole Is dug in
the ground about IS inches deep and a
foot square, and over this is built a
roof Of clay with holes Of different
sizes to receive the various cooking
pots. Roasting is done on splits pass
ed through the holes, SO that the meat
comes out very much smoked unless
great care Is taken to have only live
Goals at the bottom Of the oven.
The national dish and the common
food Of the masses is "chupe," sort
Of first cousin to the Irish stew. 1t Is
conglomerate, composed Of irregular
constituents from the animal and vege-
table kingdoms, a mess of mutton and
such other meats as are available;
chicken, fish, fruits, potatoes, carrots,
barley, corn, rice, onions, yams, etc,
chopped up, highly seasoned with pep
pers and herbs and stewed to a con-
sistency Of porridge. What happens
to be left from one meal SINNERS in
the pot until the next. If the fire goes
out, the "chupe" is allowed to cool,
but 1t is warmed up again and a new
supply of the ingredients added to the
water logged and greasy stuff for the
next meal.
In the cities, at the hotels and res
taurants where there are French or
Swiss cooks. the "chupe" is savory and
palatable, but the farther you go from
the centers of civilization the worse 1t
gets. One eats 1t at first under pro-
test, then from necessity and only to
escape starvation, but finally the stom-
ach rebels, and you limit your diet to
boiled eggs and fruit, which are usual
ly to be obtained, but the experienced
traveller always takes canned meat and
bread with him.-Sucre (Bolivia) Let
ter to Chicago Record.
