Well, if you come to Peru someday, add to the list and don´t miss to taste:

Ceviche mixto (fish)
Lomo Saltado (meat, tomatoe, chilli, fried potatoes/chinese style)
Ají de Gallina (chicken)
Choritos a la chalaca (sea fuit)
Pulpo al olivo (octopus)
Pepian de choclo (mashed corn guise, delicious, my favourite)
Cayhua rellena (vegetable filled with meat, eggs, olives,…mmmm)
Rocoto relleno (hot pepper filled with meat,onion sauce,…mmmm)

Desserts:
Arroz con leche – Rice with milk
Mazamorra Morada – Boiled purple maize with honey
Crema Volteada – Cream of milk and honey
Leche asada – Cream of milk and honey gilded
Picarones – Mashed gourd and sweet potato fried with honey

My country is friendly, and have many diversed places to know, all regions are in 1 country, coast (desserts, beaches), mountains (snow sports practicing) and jungle (you can explore virgin jungle with no risk).

See you!!!

Omg, I was in Peru weeks ago, and yes! the food is exquisite! And I love Inka cola haha. Here in the U.S. they sell it too, so I don’t get to miss it.
Did you try “Papa a la huancaina”? It’s delicious, too!

I am writing from somewhere in central America on the “Panamericana’, the highway that links Vermont with Buenos Aires. After reading your blogs, I could not resist the temptation to try those kitchen delights.You just confirmed what the great chefs have been saying for years, that Peruvian food is as good as it gets. Plan to arrive in another week or two. Sold the house, the thriving business, the three cars, the 200 inch TV plasma set, my collection of Civil War poems by Glenn Beck and my CD’s of American Idol. Can’t wait to settle down in Miraflores and eat, and eat, and eat, and eat and. . . .
Love you! Are you married?
