Do you usually drink this or not? Not at all? She said it even with fear! (Music) Bolivian food Luisillo? Luisillo the chubby? How it is? Dammit! That's right my friends, once again, your reliable, irrefutable, undeniable, unappealable source of morbid, obese food around the planet, Luisillo the chubby! Now in Bolivian lands! I am very excited to be here, my guys, my friends, tell me that few people in the world eat in such a morbid way, as obese as the Bolivians. And today we will check it! We are in La Paz. We will try to cover as much as possible of the street gastronomy of this beautiful part of the planet. You already know the dynamics. If it is possible, my guys, my friends, get a snack to watch this video. I imagine that watching these videos with hunger must be a complete torture. So go, get a sandwich. A good sandwich! Bring your aunt, bring your grandmother, because this is going to be very, very good. Let's get fat for Bolivian roads! Let's go! (Music) First street stop that we will do on this journey to start the day like champs. This place is called... how are you gentleman? How are you? All good or what? This place is called Fricacería! -Fricacería
-Greetings from Alexander! That they tell me is the classic site for the Paseño, who is with a hangover. If you throw a very hard party at night, You come here to get up, In fact we are going to try a dish that is called the "levantamuertos" (dead-awaker). Is that good? Yes, it is super -With that you always start your days?
-Yes, yes! Okay! There it is, let's get up to this dead, Luisillo the drunk! (Music) Hey, this is interesting! I'm finding out that this bar has 80 years of existence, It has been raising drunks for 80 years. It is a very emblematic place of La Paz. Well, we are going to have a real "levantamuertos". What does this delicacy have? Fricassee, mixed pork rind, chicken broth also there. How long have you been raising the dead people, lady? -40 years
-40 years? 40 years you have been raising the dead. The place is 80 years. Very good, what a good routine you have here. (Music) There is our "levantamuertos" or fricassee perfectly presented. Fun fact: We are going to accompany it with a drink called "choleada". Here our guys from Bolivia, they like to drink beer, a tasty beer! With cola soda! That's how they drink it, they love it, and they say it's also good to raise the deads ones. So more or less this is the right proportion, a little more than half of beer, you add the rest of cola soda. Choleada they call it! That to me, the truth, sounds like diarrhea. Sounds to me that this beer with cola soda, It's a diarrhea bomb, friends. Looseness I would say. But it's not bad, I would say it tastes like... Like diluted beer, I would say it tastes like that. And now the "levantamuertos", Fricassee, Let's grab a little on this side. Supposedly this broth is spicy Damn! OMG! Dammit! They would say that in these lands! No, It is... It's spicy! However, it is very good. I imagine being with a fatal hangover, having the a bad chaki (hangover). And this magical thing of the obese Bolivian gods, bringing me back to life. I would dare to say that this broth, raises more dead than the king of the night! A small reference of Game of Thrones Let's see what other delicious Bolivian we find! (Music) Next, we are going to try something of the most unusual. We are going to try here with the master Elio, The chef Elio, the broth of "cardan", which is a soup made with bull penis, right? -Yeah,
-With the member of the bull. Ok This place specializes in this dish, right? Yes, yes! Here we prepare the broth very early, from 4 am. People come very early, before going to work, before doing any activity, They pass, taste and start the day with a positive energy. Really consuming the member of the bull Is for energy issues? -Yes.
-Is it also aphrodisiac? Yes, of course Although there are no studies that prove it, but most people who consume it affirm that it is, so. This is the member of the bull. This is the pennis? Wow, it's massive, it is very big! This is one of the smallest. I did not get big ones, I got small ones, medium, but generally they are bigger. -So, this is the small one?
-Yes OMG! And these are the testicles? No,these are part of the base, let's say. How much of the bull's member, does each soup have? It's a mixture of meats, In small portions. If we had a big one, it would be very big, but it is a considerable portion. (Music) We're done! The bull's penis broth is served from here Mr. Elio, Mr Elio's penis broth. Look, they brought me the pennis, so that it can be seen good. But this one is not completely cooked, It does not look like this when it is completely cooked. When it is cooked well, It takes this form. This is completely safe to eat it. So let's see. First let's taste the broth. Very tasty It really is a very complete broth, I see that it has here Hard egg, potato, two types of potato, This one and this one. It has chicken too. It is a very complete broth! They tell me that this one is usually consumed more truckers who are going to have long routes. So they start very early. They say, who opens early? Who opens at 5 or 6 in the morning? Obviously, Mr. Elio. They come to eat their broth. They charge energy and let's go! To give everything bro The roads are not an obstacle! I had never eaten something like this. The closest thing I had eaten was the tail of the bull, that is, the tail. I ate it once in Spain, maybe you saw the video. It smells good! It makes me laugh that here they say, Ri-co (tas-ty), the r's are pronounce like that. The smell is very ri-co (nice). Well, to give it my all. Bull penis! Okay, well, well. What a pleasant flavor! Really, the meat is soft, It is very tasty, wow! Who would say so! I'm a fan of the pennis! Write that down! Luisito, big fan of the bull's penis. If you don't tell me what it is, I really wouldn't notice. I would say, it's a very soft meat, from the Alps of the Andean hills, of the finest quality. It is very tasty! Congratulations Mr. Elio! It is very tasty! Very nice! It is very tasty Well, you already know, to be wide awake, to have sexual energy, Bolivian bull penis broth! (Music) From what I'm seeing, Bolivian breakfasts are very heavy. -How are you "caserita"? Good?
-Fine! Here in the streets, to the ladies they call them "casera". -What is this, a choclo right?
-Yes, it is a choclo. It is a very common breakfast. Cholo, it's corn, as we say everywhere. -Look how crazy! That's a fried cheese

-Yes Very tasty the choclo with fried cheese, from our friend caserita. (Music) The scene of street stalls in La Paz, Bolivia is shocking! In many cities I feel that I do not find as much as here. There even are stalls of noodles! The informal street trade It is massive! Look how much there is! I like it. It is a delight, for Luisillo the chubby. The lady Encarnación is going to explain what is her specialty. Ms. Encarnación, tell us. My specialty is ají of popato, it is a traditional dish fron Bolivia, fron La Paz. Miss Encarnación, is it correct to say that you are a "pollera" (tradicional skirt) lady? Yes, I am. I wear the traditional clothing from here, from La Paz. Pollera lady, yes. This is a very interesting fact. Ladies, like Encarnación, really, they have a lot of elegance, and, can I record your teeth? Come closer, my dear Nico. You have gold teeth. Yes. This is something that plays a very important role. And then you come with ornaments, right? Yes, stars, moons. Wow. -It really is a...
-Or hearts too! -Really?
-In the shape of a heart too. It is a very interesting culture. It is also normal to see ladies who wear their hats, like bombin, round. And they put them on and they don't fall, they don't tie them up with anything. We already have it well dominated. Do you usually wear bombin? Yes, yes. -Really?
-Of course, when I'm going out to the street. When I go out to the street. Or as a civilian, right? But now I'm in the business. I can't wear the hat. We have to wear the beret, the white apron. Wow. No, no, really. It is a very fascinating culture, really. -The culture of the dress of pollera, right?
-Of pollera, yes. Pollera. I feel like a Bolivian. -I feel very proud to be a Bolivian!
-Exactly. You should. You should completely. Wearing this pollera is my pride. Very good. With this we identify ourselves. This is my pollera. Each of these polleras has a price of... It's expensive, right? At least 70 dollars. Minimum. It would be costing one of those. And well, returning to the trout. Is it a trout or what is that? It's a trout. It's a trout! Look how delicious! Well, there you have it. Lago Río fishery plays a very important role in the markets of Bolivia. (Music) And wearing my cholita hat. We came to try the famous chola sandwiches. Welcome to the cholas, Mr. Luisito. I feel proud and happy that you came and visited the cholas. So that we can serve you a delicious sandwich. Of course. The cholas are always served the best. Thank you very much. What a pleasure! They are called chola sandwiches, because they are prepared by cholita women. Of which I have already been talking to you in the video. Look, you are a pro. This is a delight. It's a delight. This is a delight the chola sandwiches. A delight. A delight. I like it. I think the challenge of the chola sandwich is to balance the chola hat. But it should be the borsalino hat. At the same time that you try the sandwich. Bon Appetit. Let's see how it is. I trust you, Mrs. Cresencia. No, serve yourself with all confidence. These hands are healthy. They serve everyone. The one who does not fall, slips. Everyone comes here. It's very good, It's really very good. -This one is good?
-No, this one is more toasted. -Do you like this one?
-Yes, yes. Fat-free chicharron you say. Let's see, no fat. -Good, no fat!
-Yes Very good. You know, for the sandwiches, here with the cholas! Chola sandwich! (Music) This is a really Bolivian snack, it's called "rellenos". This is supposed to be the palace of the relleno. It is a potato, a ball of fried potato, and it is stuffed with meat. Six Bolivianos, each relleno. A little less than a dollar. Let's open it to see what the inside looks like. Oh, look at that. -It is meat, onion, what else do you have?
-Carrot, egg... Egg, too? Wow! Well, let's hit it! I'll put llajua sauce here, hey! it looks very good! Very good, let's see how the stuffed of the palace of the stuffed with llajua is. Fun fact, they tell me that if you bite your stuffed
or your salteña, which is like a Bolivian empanada, let's not complicate, and when you bite it, the stuffed falls, it means that you do not know how to kiss, kiss your grandmother better, and dedicate yourself to something else. I could enjoy stuffed every day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, I need this Bolivian snack of a dollar. (Music) I don't know how normal this is in other countries, in Bolivia I have noticed that this dish here, this drink is called mocochinchi, it is something very normal, it is a dehydrated peach drink, how are you miss? Am I pronouncing it right, mocochinchi? -Mocochinchi!
-Mocochinchi and...
-dehydrated peach The dehydrated peach is put in water, then it is boiled, it is put cinnamon to sweeten and then it is cooled. What is it covered for? -So that dirt does not enter,
-Okay, flies, more than anything We are going to try the mocochinchi, how much is a mocochinchi? 2 Bolivians. 2 Bolivians, which are like 20 cents a dollar, something like that, 15 cents a dollar, I liked the word mocochinchi. Ah, refreshing, and I like that the cup is made of glass, so it is not like you buy it and take it, but you have to drink it here, talk here with our lady. Now, the challenge of the mocochinchi is the following, once you have finished the juice, you are hydrated, tasty, the peach is obviously left down, then you have to take a bite, so, let's see. What is that? Come on. It does have a big bone, wow. Very tasty and everything, but I would like to know the exact figure of how many deaths there are a year because of mocochinchi. It's a little dangerous, it's an extreme dish, but very tasty. We have come to know the Quitapenas ice cream market. It has a very interesting cultural context because it is very close to the pantheon, the general cemetery of this city. So, the purpose of these ice creams is that you go to visit your loved ones who left this planet, you get sad and you need something to comfort you, you come for an ice cream, Quitapenas (Quit sorrows). The cemetery, adding, the truth is that it is impressive, it is very large, you can see it from the top of the cable car, how massive it is. It is very interesting to walk around there, but what matters to us in this video, in this adventure, is how taking away the sorrows we can get fat, friends. So, hello miss, how are you? -Good?
-Yes. How nice! Hey, notice that I have a very big sorrow, I would like to take it away, what do you recommend? A cinnamon ice cream? A cinnamon ice cream, accompanied with a empanada, Of its empanada. So, a cinnamon ice cream with its empanada, please one. -The empanada of what is it?
-Of cheese. -The cinnamon ice cream, right?
-Of cinnamon! 5 bolivians, the empanada 1.50, cheap for everything, just a dollar. My friend, you who are in pain because she clearly does not love you and has never done it, come for an ice cream here with our friends, the girls, okay? Delicious! I had a sorrow that you can not imagine, but really heavy, and this one has taken it away from me. No, it's excellent, really. Well, you know, for the biggest sorrow, to be happier, a "matapenas" ice cream with our friend Olivia, very close to the cemetery of La Paz, Bolivia. Check this out, they just gave me, in fact, these kind people, come on, come on, come on. These kind people gave me my coca liqueur, very tasty, thank you, thank you. So, check this out, this is coca liqueur, from the leaf. Here in these regions that are very high in the mountains, a lot of coca is consumed. People have coca all the time, you see them chewing their bunch there of leaves. And of course they have their liqueur. Let's see how it is, let's try it. Does this make you drunk? Let's see, try! Look, it's Pachamama brand, so I think with this I already talk to the Pachamama, right? Let's see, let's see, how much percentage do you have of alcohol? 32, look, it's not that strong. Or maybe yes, let's see, cheers. No, it's strong. Our friend here is not lying, it's strong. Do you usually drink this or not? Not at all. He even said it with fear. There it is, because there is never an intervention from Luisillo, the drunkard. Or not? That's the truth. (Music) So good my friends, my huasos. This is how we conclude with this fat adventure, and chubby, touring the streets, tasting delicacies from Bolivia. I recognize that regions of this country were missing for touring, for tasting. But hey, it's always good to have an excuse to be able to return. What do you think my friends? Which of these delicacies do you sell in your countries? Which ones would you like them to sell? And as always, I'll see you in a few days with a new video. Goodbye, big fat Bolivian sweety. (Music)
