Imagine fish with lemon.
Also various kinds of boring potatoes.
John White
I think they eat guinea pigs
Austin Rivera
We do, they are tasty
The original rodent is barely the size of a rat, they were domesticated for eating but then the british queen got fond of them and they became pets
Adam Rivera
Peruvian food is great.
Sebastian Gonzalez
I thought Perú was the most spanish influenced South American country since it was the seat of government?
Benjamin Lee
My friend in middle school had some and they were really cute, but the ones in the wild are probably beasts
Charles Myers
For some reason millions of Chinese and Japanese settled there. I think they might’ve influenced the food but I wouldn’t know how
Alexander Scott
In my city there are no peruvians, so never tried it
Alexander Johnson
Yes and no, coastal peru was very spanish but the highlands were very native, in fact the reason why the spanish made peru the center was exactly because of the infrastructure already built by the incas and the fact that that way other natives would percieve the conquest as more of a transition of power
Most of our food is western with local ingredients rather than andean, only dishes i can think of that are purely native are cuy, pachamanca, patasca and sopa de kushuro
Liam Lee
I wonder if Peruvian food is more native influenced or European influenced?
Joseph Baker
See "chifa".
Eli Cruz
We never got millions of either, but right now there are like 2 million chinese peruvians that are ususally around a quarter chinese, japanese peruvians are lower at roughly 300k or so, chinese food combined with local food to form chifa which is chinese style cooking with local ingredients, tamarindo sauce and soy are both popular condiments here
Jordan Mitchell
That’s interesting. I saw some YouTube videos on it, usually with some Chicanos sayin “wow that Chinito speaks better Spanish than me!”
Yeah I always wondered why soy sauce and white rice was popular in Peru and looks like I got my answer
Adam Turner
Is ceviche a western or native thing?
Kevin Robinson
We dont know, natives ate raw fish but they didnt have citruses, we know that ceviche as its know was prepared by the spanish and the word comes either from latin cibus or from the mozarabic word from which escabeche also comes, either way from iberia
Zachary Baker

Samuel Clark

Hunter Sullivan
Elijah Collins

Aaron White
Is they any different than regular Chinese food?
Wyatt Mitchell
They use Peruvian ingredients.
In pic Chi Jau Cuy, the meat is guinea pig over chaufa rice.
Dylan Price
cute!
Nathaniel Carter
probably, I remember reading from an account about the Inca conquest the coastal natives used to eat raw fish, IIRC seasoned with tumbo (an acid fruit) instead of the lemon used today
Owen Thompson
yeah in Chincha eat cats but those don't seem to be cats but pigs
Jose James
Awww I miss my guinea pig :(
Gabriel Price
that's more of a stereotype but pigeons are eaten in some parts of the country.
