Comida de los andinos

A friend took me out to lunch last Sunday to a typical Andino restaurant in Iquique so that I could try some new things. I don't remember the names of anything I tried, but it was all delicious. The first thing we ate was like a mushy cornbread thing wrapped in a corn husk. (It sounds gross but it was really tasty). Then I ordered a typical soup that had llama meat in it! I couldn't tell the difference between that and the chicken, but it was good. My friend got lomo a lo pobre which is basically steak with potatoes. Everything "a lo pobre" just has potatoes with it...in any form. Afterwards we got some mate tea with coca leaves.
