Just a quick one today, the completo.
The completo is basically a hot dog topped with a any number of ingredients, and is extremely popular in Chile. A completo will set you back between 500 and 1000 pesos (about 70p to £1.50) and is ready without about a minute of ordering. Most come with at least sauerkraut, and many come with loads of other ingredients. A personal favourite is the 'italiano' apparently named as it ingredients, tomatoes, mashed avocado and mayonaise resemble the italian flag. I don't quite see it, but it certainly tasted good.
Needless to say, I was the main eater of completos in Chile, mainly using them as snack to keep me going until the next meal. The only picture I have of one isn't particularly good, but does show off our weird lit up table we had in two of our Santiago apartments!
Fittingly, the last thing I ate in South America before departing for Australia was a massive italiano completo!
