Top Ten List: #6 Peruvian Food/Pisco Sours/Chilean Wine

I know we live in Chile, but our favorite food here is Peruvian! Oh, I love it so much! Peruvian food tends to be pretty flavorful and spicy! My favorite thing is Ceviche, which is seafood cured in lemon juice. It has a lovely flavor and is so tasty with all the fresh seafood around, especially on warm, summer days. Peruvian restaurants also serve a wonderful chicken dish called aji de gallina that uses a Peruvian cheese and aji pepper sauce - it is rich & delicious!

Ceviche & Pisco Sours

Pisco is only made in Chile and Peru - it is delicious! It is a liquor made from white grapes from a specific region in Chile. Pisco sours are popular in both contries - they are made up of lemon juice, pisco, ice & egg whites. Also, the wine here is so good and so cheap! It will be hard to get used to the price difference in the states!
