Mbeju is always eaten with black coffee or "cocido" some kind of paraguayan tea or maybe some juice. Never alone. And it's more for breakfast or "merienda", not for main courses at lunch. But I like that you've been to the real, poorer areas of the city only and not only in the "Eje Corporativo" or Carmelitas or all those areas where most foreigners stay or spend time. The point of "Western" is interesting too. We don't care really but it's just strange that sometimes we are explained that we are not Western (geopolitically) when we look and our lifestyle is clearly european. And actually many parts of Latín América (especially in the Southern Cone are and look more european than Western Europe itself in many parts for reasons I won't Say not to be misinterpreted). We've had cases of turkish people or people born in North América or Europe from african or Middle eastern parents telling us that they are Western and we are not (Even though we look european because our ancestry is italian, Spaniard, German etc because for better or worse we were colonized by them and then the big migration waves). Again, we don't care about that but it's just weird 😅 because they seem to care but if we go to Europe or North América white people from there would think we are "western" and not them. And we are..culturally. But we don't care.
Thank you for visiting Paraguay 🇵🇾

Mbejú is more for breakfast or snack, and you accompany it with mate-cocido or coffee, not beer 😂
