I arrived in Peru when they sold you 6 loaves of bread for 1 sol, today it is 2 or 3 loaves of bread for 1 sol (0,26 cent), depending on the bakery and the quality of the bread; when I talk about bread, this is the reference in the photos, a very popular type of bread in Peru, I would dare to say that there is no Peruvian who does not buy this bread, it is what they eat for breakfast and snacks, it is even the bread they use to sell breakfasts in the "carts" selling emoliente (a Peruvian drink based on various plants).
Fun fact: This bread is called "French bread."
Six years ago, this breakfast of two loaves of bread filled with French toast and a glass of quinoa cost 3 soles at a food cart or 5 soles at a local restaurant. Today, it costs 6 soles at a food cart and 8 soles at a local restaurant. When I refer to a local restaurant, I am talking about a small one, run by some micro-entrepreneur. If we talk about the price in a more renowned restaurant, it costs 15 soles for bread with French toast.
