Pickle.

Just a quick comparison of the cost of some items here. One of the things typically missing from the hamburgers in Panajachel is pickles. Funny how you get a tatse for something when they are scarce or expensive.

A pickled mix. Q139.75 or just under $20. Notice the toothpicks in the onions.

Another pickled mix. Q177.75 or just a bit over $24.

An olive and gherkin mix. Q226.75 or about $31.

All of these were about half gallon size jars. I noticed these when I was looking for ingredients for pizza. As much as I had a hankering for something salty sour, these were all out of my league. I settled for a small can of black olives and a pouch of green olives.
