When someone asks if you like a type of food always be willing to go and try it. That’s my philosophy in life. I once took a friend to Indian food after he insisted over and over he isn’t a fan of it. Guess what. He liked it.
So when my coworker asked if I liked Peruvian food I automatically said yes let’s go.
No regrets! It was amazing.
I had him order my dishes. I wanted to get the right experiences. Be sure to always do that too. When someone takes you to a new place to try have them order for you. They usually pick the specialty items.
So it started off with ceviche. I usually had it with shrimp never a white fish. It was delicious. He then ordered Papa a la Huancaína which is their yellow potatoes with chicken salad. You think the potatoes will be warm but it’s chilled and soft.
Then my main dish was delicious.
Tacu Tacu a lo pobre. Which is skirt steak with plantains and a rice bean mixture that is refried topped with an egg. Comfort food to the max.
For dessert Picaones. Which is
their traditional donuts . Sweet potatoes and pumpkin. They were so light. Not greasy at all. Served with a dipping glaze.Amazing!
Food is about experience. Feelings. Culture. It’s so many things than just eating because you’re hungry.
