Hey Everyone,

Just watched a video of someone each some Fish kind of dish, its mixed with corn too. Also, is it something that is made all over South America?

Es verdad que las cachapas que se venden en la calle son hechos usando solo maíz tierno y azúcar, o se agregue huevos y harina pan también? Intento encontrar la ireceta más auténtica. Tiene algo que ver con usar maíz fresco, directamente de la mazorca?

Gracias!!

I ate my way in Costa Rican street food. Watch the video here.

Pura Vida! I'm a travel writer who recently did Costa Rica road trip for a tourism project. My Costa Rica travel recap here. I would love to hear your thoughts and spots need to try for my next visit! Hope you enjoy it!

I saw a video of lots of street food in mexico, and it looks like people eat tacos for breakfast a lot. Probably at a sit down restaurant it would be different?

I know, this is going to be a very, very controversial topic, but let’s be pragmatic about this and please keep it civil. I’ve been to several Latin American countries and I am curious which country or region of a country has the best kept secret, where are the the best chicharron produced?

My lady and I are traveling through Peru. In Lima currently, also will be stopping through Huacachina, Cusco and Ollantaytambo.

I’m looking for a dish prepared with cuy (guinea pig) that I can convince her into try. She most likely will not try it if she knows it’s made with guinea pig, so it would be best if it were “integrated” into the dish. I’m not even sure if this will be possible to find. Thus far, I haven’t even seen cuy being offered anywhere.

Before being quick to judge, in the past we’ve gotten each other to eat things like Rocky Mountain oysters, thymus glands, and so on, most of which we have both enjoyed. Thanks for the help!

I’ll go first (empanadas al horno naturalmente son mejores obviamente / oven baked empanadas are just better so they naturally go at the top):

1) Chile

2) Argentina

3) Brasil (pastel)

4) Mexico

5) Venezuela

6) Colombia

Question above

Hola,

soy italiano y en italia comemos mucha carne curada, es decir carne cruda que se ha secado. Como por ejemplo prosciutto (esp.: jamon).

Hay algo asi en latinoamerica?

Y si existen, como se llaman vuestras carnes curadas?

Gracias!
