I'm trying to round up treats from every continent for scout camp this week, and with the obvious exception of Antarctica, I am I only missing South America.

It has to be something that can keep in a tent or cooler for a week.

Well, geographically, since the days of Peleg. Politically, I'd say probably since Columbus.

And yet, in South America, they didn't have tortillas. We once taught a family how to make tacos for FHE

I would think Guarana for sure, and it tastes better anyway.

Good thought on the Latin market, though. If you can't find Guarana in a regular grocery, try here:

I don't know how easy to find in Denver but alfajores would work well

You can get packaged Alfajores or fresh ones in just about any latino store

Dulce de leche and apple slices or bananas to spread it on. Some stores have it
