Paraguayan cuisine features simple yet flavorful dishes, often based on corn, beef, and cheese. A popular dish is sopa paraguaya, a cornbread made with cheese and onions. Chipa, a cheesy, cornbread-like snack, is enjoyed as a treat. Asado (barbecue) is common, with grilled meats served alongside rice and beans. Mbejú, a starch-based cake, and tereré (cold herbal tea) are traditional drinks and snacks in Paraguayan culture.
