Originality, quality, and the variety of ingredients used in
the Peruvian cuisine lead to the National Cultural Institute (INC) to declare
it a National Cultural Heritage. According to a news report from the INC,
Peruvian gastronomy has been considered one of the world’s best. Furthermore,
the Madrid Fusion in Europe has awarded the title of 'Latin American Gastronomy
Capital' to the city of Lima.
The INC pointed out that the Peruvian cuisine has a long
tradition. And that on pre-Columbian time, Peruvian Cuisine had a magical and
religious character, which grants its symbolic and cultural content.
Meals thousands of years old are still on the menu, such as
“Carapulcra,” “Humitas,” and the “Pachamanca”. The many restaurants in Peru
with their creative chefs have made the country an important culinary
destination for tourists from all over the world. Among the most popular dishes in Peru are:
“Cebiche,” “Papa a la Huancaina,” and “Aji de Gallina”.
