Food is prepared differently in every country! In Peru, I learned that food safety is very important. It’s important to always wash fruits and vegetables and not leave meat or cheese out for too long so you don’t get sick.
One popular dish in Peru is called ceviche. It is made with fresh fish and lime juice. The lime helps “cook” the fish! There are also many delicious cooked foods like rice, chicken, soups, and potatoes.
Trying new foods has been one of my favorite parts of being here.
Peru is known for its cuisine and has some of the yummiest food in the world! Peru is especially known for their seafood, and you can find fresh fish almost anywhere you go. Fishing culture is important.
Fishermen in Huanchaco use reed boats called Caballitos de totora. You can find them early in the morning bringing in fresh catches.
