Costa Rica seems to be an interesting place to say the least. Never been there, but in 2014 there were some Costa Rican tourists in my hometown for the FIFA World Cup which had some matches held locally.

When it comes to regionally-grown food, makes me wonder what has been done for fresh bread in Costa Rica to be so comparatively cheaper than the imported one. Brazil relies heavily on imports for wheat, even though other grains such as corn and rice (which my state has AFAIK the largest output nationwide), or roots such as cassava/manioc/tapioca and sweet potato, which can also be used for baking and are more suitable for tropical regions. Wheat relies heavily on subsidies in Brazil.

Presumably it was RHD, made in Canada and exported as a CKD kit and assembled at the La Boca neighborhood in Buenos Aires.
