Peruvian Cuisine

During my adventures in Peru this summer I got the chance to try so many delicious Peruvian dishes. They say that Peru has one of the best cuisines in the world...I agree. The food was much better than in Chile...don't tell any Chileans I said that...

There were still some things that I wasn't able to try that I was hoping to, but that just means I'll have to go back. Bummer...:)
Fish strips...tasty but really? That's IT?!

Day of the Dead bread...yep that's a baby in a bread blanket.


Chicha! Fermented corn and strawberry juice. Sounds weird? Tastes kind of weird too...

Granadilla fruit

Typical - chicken fried to the max with french fries and white rice.

Yucca...like a potato, but not a potato. Something new...

Pisco sour! Peruvian style...but best with Chilean pisco I've heard...

Coca leaves are EVERYWHERE - tea, candy, chocolate, snacks, breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc.

Leche de tigre - the juice left over from the ceviche - lemon juice, fish juice, spicy pepper, cilantro, salt? Wasn't a huge fan...

Seafood tortilla

Seafood sampler - Peruvian ceviche, octopus fried rice, fried fish sticks.

Don't forget the rice.

Toasted yellow corn to feed those hard working boys in the field!

There's always tea and soup


Toasted flour, potatoes, peas, and cheese...for breakfast. That'll sure fill you up for a hard day's work in the fields!


Toasted salted corn kernels...think Corn nuts...but better.


Stuffed mashed potatoes


They made this with a camping stove! Impressive...

Cuy. (Guinea Pig.) Tried it once...more than enough.
