No, I could not eat it all.

This was my plate at the restaurant of some of our friends here in Ipiales.  In some ways, it's not typical of what we would receive in someone's home here.  In other ways, it can give you a pretty good idea.  It's always a lot.  Potatoes are common here and are often served with rice and sometimes noodles as well.  There's always a soup served first and then the main course.  I'm usually full after the soup, but we try and eat what we are served, inasmuch as possible.  I'm still getting used to spending most of my life feeling stuffed!
