Peruvian food

[Anonymous No.6634636]

Who here peruvian food?

I think it's the next type of food hipsters are going to start using in their meme fusion restaurants.

[Anonymous No.6634684]

Peruvian chicken is godlike.

That is all.

[Anonymous No.6634719]

There's already three Peruvian restaursnts near my house that have opened in the past couple years.
Anyway, its pretty good stuff. I like the causas, the different ceviches, lomo saltado, and some other things......

[Anonymous No.6634830]

Ceviche, ceviche, ceviche for days

[Anonymous No.6634910]

It's not that good and it's overpriced.

[Anonymous No.6634915]

>>6634636
Ceviche and Pisco, and that's it

[Anonymous No.6634927]

I'd say its above average and has good dishes like causa, tiradito, ceviche and pretty good stews. Don't get why anyone says its on par with Chinese, Mexican, Indian and other well known cuisines

lomo saltado and pollo a la brasa is overrated though

I guess most of the Lomo Saltado I've had in the us and peru was a little over rated, but I had Pollo a la brasa at pardos and that shit was delicious.

I'm not just a fan of chicken in general.

Overpriced compared to what? Mexican food? Most of the entrees at a peruvian restaurant in my town are around $8-12, and it isn't a shitty hole in the wall.

[Anonymous No.6634951]

Gosh darn,
I love cooking causa and lomo saltado. I can't help driving a few miles to eat pollo a la brasa though. It kinda blows all variations of cooked chicken out of the water.

[Anonymous No.6634954]

Has anyone tried aji de gallina? Me being a shitstain Mexican, I love dishes that are drowned in a sauce

[Anonymous No.6634955]

>>6634946
Compared to other ethnic restaurabts. Also they give you a lot of rice. I don't want to pay 5-6$ for rice.

[Anonymous No.6634966]

>>6634954
My friends drown all their food in aji, it's like a peppery cheese sauce.

I love aji, my family always has a jar filled with it in the fridge lol

[Anonymous No.6635901]

My mom has made traditional Peruvian dishes my whole life.

That being said if you haven't tried Tallarines Verdes con Bistek, also known as Tallarin Verde a lo Pobre, you haven't lived. If you want to know really hidden gems among actual peruvians though, there's something called "Chifa", which are what the asian immigrants created when they moved to Peru. It's basically Peruvian version of Chinese food. It's incredibly delicious, and if anyone lives in or around NYC, go to Queens and look up a restaurant called "Chifa" on Northern Boulevard. Their soup uses some boiled quail eggs that are incredibly good. And they serve authentic stuff.

I love me some tallarines verdes with steak or chicken

[Anonymous No.6636021]

What's the best I can do for ceviche if I don't have access to a fish market?

[Anonymous No.6636056]

>>6636021
It's either use some shitty frozen fish or pay out the ass for fresh fish that was shipped in from somewhere else.

[Anonymous No.6637449]

Honestly Peruvian food hasn't been popular just because the actual worthy dishes aren't promoted as much:

>Cuy chactado
>Pachamanca
>Arroz con pato
>Espesado
>Cau cau
>Patasca
>Chaufa de mariscos

My family is from northern Peru (around the Lambayeque area) and I just cringe when people think that Peruvian food is only food served in the capital.

I used to get different chaufas all the time at a peruvian restaurant here in the states. When I went to peru we visited piura, my friends hometown. I had God tier tacu tacu at like 3am in some hole in the wall there.

>Tallarin verde
My nigga. My grandma used to make this for me whenever I stayed at her house for the weekend. I need to learn how to make it
>>6637449
>cau cau
My family goes crazy for cau cau but I can't stand it

[Anonymous No.6639658]

There was a Peruvian place near my office for about a year and I went two or three times; I enjoyed it.

It's been replaced by a Thai joint.

>>6637449
what does chicha taste like? is it better to use in sauce than beer

[Anonymous No.6639908]

you mean to tell me that not a single one of you is going to mention salchipapas?

[Anonymous No.6639999]

>>6639908
I love salchipapas but im not certain they are super peruvian....a bunch of latin american countries all make hot dogs and fries, in mexico they call it salchipulpo cause they do flower cuts on the dogs before frying

i don't really like guinea pig and potatoes OP.

[Anonymous No.6640010]

my favorite peruvian thing to make and keep around is aji verde(the sauce that comes with the chicken) ...that stuff made me actualy like mayo, i will slather about anything with aji verde

[Anonymous No.6640034]

>>6634636
my dads peruvian, your saltado looks like shit.

What the fuck is up with Peruvian restaurants sprouting up everywhere? Growing up, we drove hours to the nearest (decent) Peruvian restaurant. Now, there no less than 15 Peruvian places in that metro area, and I wouldn't be caught dead calling it a big city.

Another big trend in Peruvian food is turning everything into tapas.

My knowledge of Peruvian cuisine is mainly limited to coastal stuff. I've had some delicious Pachamanca in Lima and had no clue what was in it. But yeah man, some cau cau or mondongito al italiano, a good seco or cabrito de leche, un pescado a lo macho (criollo, no cream sauce pls), un chupe de camarones, and that fucking salsa verde slathered on everything.

I have an almost Pavlovian response when I hear Peruvian folk music, it makes my mouth water. The only time I'd hear it is in big family gatherings or in a restaurant.

chicha morada to wash it all down with

Yes what these anons said. If your too much of a pussy to kill it just pay some Mexican market to do it for you.
