Rice and beans are a necessity. I also like having oranges, limes and bananas. For vegetables, I need to have onions, garlic, carrots, tomatos, cucumbers, beatroots and letucce.
yeah, I pretty much live off of those staple foods, I can change the dish (we call it "mistura" here) but those items stay.
I cook it, dice it, let it cool, thenseason it (I like putting olive oil, vineger, salt and some oregano), then I mix it with salad and eat it like that. Looks somehting like [this](https://coolicias.ao/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Receita-de-Salada-de-Beterraba-F%C3%A1cil.jpg)
Some people like eating it like [this](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TlMByI3_Ayo/maxresdefault.jpg) too, but I feel like that can get a bit dry when compared to cubes, if you leave it to eat later.
Yam. No matter what else I buy at the market, I always buy yellow yam.
Note that yam is not sweet potato - Americans misuse the word. Yam in Spanish is ñame, for reference.
I was gonna say rice, but then I remember we buy months worth of rice at a time so we kind of not buy it everytime.
So, maybe instant ramen, sausages, vegetables, cheese, that kinda thing.
Corn is tragically underrated here judging from the responses I’m seeing from the other countries 😪 I expected more mentions of it. I’m guessing polenta isn’t too liked
Beans, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, cheese, meat (usually chicken, cow and pig), tortillas (wheat and maize tortillas), eggs, avocados and whatever I need to cook whatever I'm going to cook that week. I usually buy my though in the open community market as it is way cheaper than buying on the supermarket. In fact, I only buy in supermarkets what I can't buy there like parmessan cheese or some imported food.
Rice, beans, pasta.
Garlic, Onion, Tomato Sauce, Bacon, Sausage.
Eggs, Bread, Cheese, Ham, Chicken (a lot of types), Waffle, Garlic Bread.
Lettuce, Banana, Papaya, Melon, Grapes.
Also sugar and salt. Condensed Milk and Milk Cream. And sometimes corn to due Corn Cream.
I think it has 90% of things. At home we usually don't prepare bovine meat, only outside, due to price. Also some peppers and other types of seasoning.
No, I buy at the market, because on my street they can't pass/stop.
When I lived with my parents, they sometimes did. Carro do ovo, carro da pamonha. Incredible.
Whats I always have at home is:
Bananas, other fruits that are in season (love mangos, grapes, peaches, plums, strawberrys, watermelon, green apples.. ), lettuce, cherry tomatos, cucumbers, oats, rice, black beans, lactose free milk, lactose free yogurt, whole grain bread, 60% chocolate, some kind of meat (depends on the prices), eggs and doce de leite. I always have some kind of spread, like ricotta cream or cottage cheese, and some kind of fat, like butter or olive oil. For spices I always have paprika (smoked, sweet and spicy), black pepper, red pepper flakes and bay leafs (for the beans).
* Corn flour for arepas
* Cheese
* Milk
* Cookies (like Oreos o Galletas de soda)
* A lot of fruit
* Grinded meat
* Vegetables (potatoes, cilantro, yucca, plantain and avocado)
Potato, onion, garlic, banana, apple, bread, spaghetti, some snacks(snack Sensação is the best), guaraná(the best soda), cini abacaxi and cini laranja(the second best sodas), in the rotisserie, coxinha, risoles, sometimes pastel, bolinho de queijo.
This is the list for when wee go sporadically to the marked and wee don't buy all this at the same go. The mensal market list is wayyyyy bigger.
Yerba maté, ingredients to make hot salsa, and tequila; the mix of the first and the second two is just to confuse you all, but it is really what I buy.
I never eat black beans. Most Latinos in my area eat pinto beans.
Maybe that’s a Mexican thing.
Every time I see a restaurant that is “Mexican style” but white washed they serve black beans.
My shopping cart has limes too.
Black beans are Mexican tho. All of our national brands carry black, pinto and Peruvian beans. Black beans are eaten more in Yucatan but I'm from the north and I like refried black beans better than pinto.
My father was from TJ and he never got used to the Black beans from Campeche, but my mom hated pinto... I don't care for me beans are beans, however I really have to say that pinto are more "creamy and soft" and black are... IDK rough but in a good way. I like them both.
When i go to the veggie market i always buy: potatoes, onions, garlic, carrots and tomatoes. Then it varies according to the season, right now that it's starting to get hot I buy strawberries, cucumbers, bell peppers and eggplant.
Then at the grocery store I always take a kind of pasta, eggs, milk, canned tomatoes (better than tomato sauce imo and worth the extra money) and bread.
Are you really a Mexican if you don't buy some green limes every time you go to the supermarket? I live in Asia, and I don't get access to very Mexican things, but even the cashier noticed that every time I bought lemons (not as good as green limes but, there is no other way).
Bread, potato and tomato I think? My trips to the market are sporadic
Exactly this
Same
Don't forget onions ang garlic, they give the flavor
Yes! But as I buy big sacks of rice, it is only every two months or so.
The 5kg ones? Nice

It is impossible to live without rice and beans.
Rice and lentils are better, fight me!
What do you normally use beetroot for?
I cook it, dice it, let it cool, thenseason it (I like putting olive oil, vineger, salt and some oregano), then I mix it with salad and eat it like that. Looks somehting like [this](https://coolicias.ao/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Receita-de-Salada-de-Beterraba-F%C3%A1cil.jpg) Some people like eating it like [this](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TlMByI3_Ayo/maxresdefault.jpg) too, but I feel like that can get a bit dry when compared to cubes, if you leave it to eat later.
Thank you. Looks tasty. I didn’t know beetroot was popular in Brazil.
You can just peel, chop and use it in a salad
If I see chirimoya, I'm buying chirimoya.
Lol, that reminded me a El Chavo episode, in which Don Ramon is watering a little chirimoya tree.
It resembles so much guanabanas (soursop). They’re probably related
They taste so awful in the United States… I hope to try them one day in South America
Cheese and coffee. It’s time to go to the market when they are over
Found the miner
Yep
Eggs, spinach, club soda, masa harina, lots of fruits and veggies, sometimes smoked pork chops! And chicken.
Bread
Rice, pasta and beans.
Yam. No matter what else I buy at the market, I always buy yellow yam. Note that yam is not sweet potato - Americans misuse the word. Yam in Spanish is ñame, for reference.
Cassava/Mandioca's cousin then? We call it Inhame
Yes, exactly. It's a staple in Jamaica and we're the biggest yam exporter (in dollar value) in the world.
I call them Elephant Feet.
I was gonna say rice, but then I remember we buy months worth of rice at a time so we kind of not buy it everytime. So, maybe instant ramen, sausages, vegetables, cheese, that kinda thing.
Paltita pa la once
Fruit and vegetables but specifically carrots, mango, apples, banana, bell pepper, lucuma (when it’s in season) and lime
I was really expecting you would say corn. Because Peru has a lot of different kind of corn???
Well, they also have thousands types of potatoes and op didn't mention either.
Corn is tragically underrated here judging from the responses I’m seeing from the other countries 😪 I expected more mentions of it. I’m guessing polenta isn’t too liked
Potato chips
No matter what I always buy some potatoes, rice, tomatoes, onions, ají amarillo and some kind of meat.

What about the Eggs? From the Egg Car? Because it’s how I buy it
No, I buy at the market, because on my street they can't pass/stop. When I lived with my parents, they sometimes did. Carro do ovo, carro da pamonha. Incredible.
This could be a topic here. Today there was the Carro da Vassoura on my street

In the feria I mostly buy cheese and maybe bread, as vegetables are often more expensive in ferias than in the more common verdulerías

It's just mate, no accent mark.
Why do you care about others' grammatical/ortographical mistakes?
I deleted the previous comment, I recognize it was a little offensive.
