Peruvian Cuisine: a melting pot of delicious and varied flavors
Of the many readily available Latin-American cuisines, Peruvian food is often overlooked, but it shouldn’t be! Combining various flavors from cultures that immigrated to Peru, such as Spanish, Japanese, African, Italian, and French, as well as native flavors, Peruvian food provides a unique and delicious ethnic blend. Even the most picky eaters will find something to please their palates when going Peruvian, because there are so many options to choose from – dishes incorporate everything from fresh fish to mashed potato/corn/yucca to sumptuous stews of chicken and cream to salted dried pork to homey rice and beans. Diners who are 21+ years shouldn’t miss a cocktail made with Pisco, a delicious type of Peruvian brandy made from grapes, or Chicha de Jora, made from maiz. Next time you’re hungry and feeling like a change, why not taste Peruvian cuisine?! You’ll be so happy you did!
