Machu Picchu Tour - Peruvian Food

on Tuesday, March 1, 2011

This is Chupe de Camarones, which is a Peruvian shrimp chowder with milk cream, rice, eggs, green peas, corn, and spices. Its a great huge bowl of soup suitable for cold winter days and nights.


Peruvian food is famous for its taste and diversity. Every region has its own specialty. Plenty of dishes contain potato. Chicken, pork, fish, lamb, rice and potatoes are the main ingredients in Peruvian cuisine.

Peruvian traditional dishes are called Criollo dishes. Most of the dishes you see in Peruvian restaurants are Criollo dishes.

Ceviche is a very popular traditional Peruvian dish. It is made of raw fish that has been marinated in fresh lime, onions and chillies. Sea bass is the preferred fish for ceviche. Eating ceviche is a new experience for anyone. It is complimented with boiled sweet potatoes or corn.



Tiradito is the youngest member of the ceviche family and the one growing most in variety of preparation. Unlike ceviche, tiradito does not include onions, but the main difference is the cut of the fish, which is sliced thinly and then flattened. Fresh ingredients are used and they are served chilled.
