The food of Peru

If you are new here, I recently had the opportunity to travel to Peru with Operation Christmas Child.  You can read about the shoebox distributions here.

Okay, yes, I admit it.  One of the things I most look forward to when traveling is the food.  I love to try new places and foods especially of other cultures.  Peru did not disappoint.  I told you about having Ceviche and Chicha Morada our first day.  Rotisserie Restaurant

After our morning distribution on our second day we went to a Rotisserie Chicken restaurant.  This was a very nice “hole in the wall” place.

Rotisserie Chicken

It was by far the best rotisserie chicken I have ever had.  I wish I had one of these places on the corner by my house!  The french fries were homemade!  Oh and Inca Kola is everywhere in Peru.  It reminded me a little of cream soda.  I wanted to bring one home to have my family try it, but wasn’t able to bring it on the plane.

PinkberryWe had a little extra time so we went to a Pinkberry for frozen yogurt.  Evidently we have these in the States, but I had never heard of them.  I found it ironic that I traveled all the way to Peru to be able to try it!  I tried granada and Lucuma flavors.  Surely those aren’t available in the US?

Pardos ChickenFor lunch on our last day of distributions we were treated to Pardo’s Chicken.  We ate under a covered canopy outside overlooking the ocean.

Restaurant viewThe view from our table–gorgeous!

Frozen Chicha and kabobsThe Kabobs were mouthwatering!  They were served with slices of fried potatoes and corn.  I ordered frozen Chicha Morada and oh my goodness was it Delicious!

Tres Leches CakeAs the dessert tray came around I had to try this Tres Leches Cake, because it looked just like my recipe.  I found my recipe for Tres Leches cake in a cookbook by Steven Raichlen.  It was a little different from the ones I’ve had in the US and Mexico, but it was a favorite from the first time I made it.  Now I know exactly where it comes from.  I thought that was so fun!  I have the recipe posted on my blog!

Hotel Atton BuffetOur evening meal each night was a buffet at the hotel.  This is the only photo that I took.  I think by then I was so tired and hungry.  Who wants to be holding a camera when there is all that food to choose from?  This was just the appetizer table!  There was another table containing the main dishes and then another huge table of desserts.  The food was incredible!

    Man, the food sure was good, wasn’t it? And I agree with you, Esther … the best rotisserie chicken I’ve ever had was at the greasy spoon little restaurant we visited. Amazing. Your post reminds me I need to track down some Inca Cola. 😉

    Jim was able to get some Inca Cola home. They were airplane sample sizes. He said he put it in checked baggage. So I guess he cheated a little.
