PERUVIAN FOOD

So everyone seems to be wondering what we are eating these days.
Our favorite Peruvian delicacy was ceviche, hands down.

Here is a photo of a typical ceviche dish.

Raw fish marinated in a lime sauce served with choclo (large kernal corn) sweet potato or yucca, and lots of red onion.


We ate lots of ceviche at the beach. In Mollendo (southern Peru), ladies brought ceviche right to us under our umbrella. Delicious!

Ceviche is often the first course selection on the menu of the day at the beach. We ordered the menu of the day for lunch and dinner. It usually came with soup/ceviche for the first course and a choice of chicken, fish, beef with french fries, rice, and a salad for the second course.
