I'm interested to know where you heard that, because there's no truth to it. Corn is enjoyed by Bolivians regardless of status. Corn on the cob is sold roadside in rural areas and corn is often an ingredient in traditional soups. Cebiche is pretty popular in Bolivia as well, and it's usually served with sweet corn. Corn is probably second only to potatoes as a staple in Bolivia. Espero que esto es informativo.
