Food & Drink

Local dishes include:

• chipas (maize bread flavoured with egg and cheese)
• soo-yosopy (a soup of cornmeal and ground beef)
• albondiga (meatball soup)
• boribori (diced meat, vegetables and small dumplings mixed with cheese)

Paraguay has some good local beef.

Cana, the national drink, is distilled from sugar cane and honey. Mosto, sugar cane juice, is worth a taste, as is the red wine and yerba mate.
