It’s been some time since I posted meals footage so right here’s a ramble throughout just a few tables in South America. Earlier than Layne left for the States we had breakfast on the town, an American breakfast like a grand slam at Denny’s. Layne had French toast and I had pancakes. In Peru. Bizarre huh?
There’s a Spanish place in Arequipa owned by a man really from Spain who likes it right here sufficient to open his personal eatery and serve fairly good meals, risotto…
…paella.
And cheese ice cream for dessert. It’s an area factor on this city so known as as a result of it has the colour and consistency of cheese.
However not the flavour. It’s really a light-weight vanilla half ice cream, half sorbet served with cinnamon powder sprinkled on prime. Not dangerous, gentle and refreshing and never tacky in any respect.
Peru has a status for imaginative delicacies and right here we have now fish, crawfish, Brussels sprouts and puréed potatoes. Not a mix I’d had earlier than however I’d once more.
It is a Peruvian specialty too. A stuffed bell pepper crammed with beef in a raisin studded sauce and a aspect of potato gratin layered with candy Peruvian cheese.
And a banal chocolate dessert. You’d like it anyway you’d prefer it.
That is the village the place we broke down within the excessive plains. We had lunch right here and because it’s Peru it was memorable.
