Is anyone here a fan of Peruvian food? It seems to be getting a lot of fame recently, but I never see it being discussed in Veeky Forums.

It seems seafood based. I'm into that. Would love to try it someday.

Dumping some pics. This is Lomo saltado: sauteed beef and vegetables with fries and rice. Pretty good!

This is a seafood soup containing rice, eggs and milk. I think it is the perfect hangover cure

Your peruvian food seems to be a mix of mediterranian and murrican. Either way, get rid of the murrican influence and its something I'd want to eat.

Ceviche is literally the best food ever.

It's alright, but people overhype it too much

This desu senpai

It's pretty crappy. Only peruvian pride keeps the OMGWEARETHEBEST soccer pride going about how amazing it is.
Ceviche is yummy. Cilantro, lime and fresh fish rocks. The big fried corn on top is unique however.
Pisco sour is delicious but not unique to Peru, though they argue that point.
Saltado, fries? and fried rice? Like cheap chinese food, because that is exactly what it is, from chinese (slave) workers. It's basically soy sauced stir fry onions, peppers and beef, and very salty, as well as bland and boring.
Inca Kola is bubblegum flavored cream soda, and makes the enamel feel like it is melting off your teeth.

My favorite dish is the Papas a la Huincaina, a cold potato salad, which has a luscious yellow pepper creamy salad dressing that is both spicy, eggy and creamy, sort of a hollandaise. I wouldn't give you 2 cents for the rest of Peruvian cuisine vs the rest of S. America or even the Caribbean. It's too chinese influenced.

But user there's loads of dishes with little to no chinese influence! This seafood rice dish is sort of like paella, and it is eaten with grated parmesan dish and fresh lime juice. A real treat in my opinion
