As soon as we got to Peru, we stopped making our own food (joiiieee), and the markets became our favorite playground. A dish generally costs no more than \u20ac1, so it’s hard to do for less, even if you cook for yourself. A little reluctant at first – the guidebooks recommend it for strong stomachs – it quickly became our canteen. We’ve always eaten very well and never been sick! (fingers crossed..)<\/p>\n

\"Juices\"

Some specialities, of course everything is “muy rico”:<\/div>\n

– Rocoto Relleno<\/strong>: peppers stuffed with meat and vegetables, usually served with a potato gratin (a specialty of Arequipa, a city in the south of the country).
\n– Lomo saltado<\/strong>: French fries + rice topped with saut\u00e9ed beef and onions
\n– Aroz chaufa<\/strong>: rice saut\u00e9ed with vegetables
\n– Aroz \u00e0 la cubana<\/strong>: rice, French fries, fried bananas and egg
\n– Millanesa<\/strong>: breaded chicken cutlet<\/p>\n

As for sweets, we stopped off a lot in the panaderia<\/strong> to try and taste everything. The churros<\/strong> and doughnuts filled with Dulce (their milk jam)<\/strong> were tried and tested! The cheese ice cream<\/strong> sprinkled with cinnamon, not Roquefort flavor, plus a kind of yogurt ice cream, from the Arequipa market was our favorite.<\/p>\n

And what else do we drink?
\n– the fruit juices at the market<\/strong> are just excellent, and the quantities are gigantic (the equivalent of a second meal) for 1\u20ac the saleswoman served us the equivalent of 4 large glasses. We’ve never gone without!
\n– Chicha morada<\/strong>: the national drink made from purple corn, it’s good but nothing more. We didn’t always like everything…<\/p>\n

– Pisco<\/strong> sour:<\/strong> another national drink, this time alcoholic, made with lemon juice, egg white and Pisco. We really liked this one.
\n– the beers<\/strong> are all very, very light, the Cusque\u00f1a, which isn’t too bad, seems to be the most popular.<\/p>\n

We also indulged in some really nice restaurants, “Ratatouille” French cuisine & “La petite fran\u00e7aise” cr\u00eaperie in Arequipa, then “Bo’m” cr\u00eaperie & “Green Point” vegetarian in Cuzco.<\/p>\n
