ZeTrip… the end
Week 31 – How to summarize what we lived for 7 months ?! It is hard and I’m still thinking about how I will answer the question people will ask in a few days: “How was it ?!”
El chilote Curanto, Chiloé, Patagonia, Chile
The most traditional dish of the island of Chiloé is the Curanto.
La cazuela del gaucho, Patagonia, Chile
We were on la Tierra del Fuego, on the Chilean part, looking for a place to sleep on our way between Ushuaia and Punta Arenas. It was incredibly windy and a little bit cold and rainy…
Oda al Caldillo de congrio, Patagonia, Chile
The Caldillo de Congrio is a fish soup made with fish broth, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, onions, fish (congrio – eel – but can also be made with other white fishes) and the Chilean spice merquén (smoked chili pepper). It is delicious!
Centolla, Patagonia, Argentina and Chile
In south Patagonia the most common product from the sea is the centolla, so called King crab. We couldn’t avoid it and were forced to taste its different cooking styles 🙂
Cordero asado, Patagonia, Argentina and Chile
One of the most common and delicious food in Patagonia, in both Argentina and Chile, is the Cordero asado, the grilled lam! DE-LI-CIOUS!!!
Alfajores, delicacy of Argentina
My first discovery was not really a success… I was expecting the most delicious sweet of Argentina and it was in fact a little bit…
Medialunas, Argentina
Delicious surprise of Argentina: the medialunas!
Anticucho Cusqueño de Corazón, Peru
Continuing our Peruvian food discovery, we bravely tried one of the specialities of Cusco: the beef heart skewers!
Peru in a nutshell
Week 7 – Before coming here, in my mind Peru was just Machu Picchu, and maybe also the strange marks of Nazca. But I didn’t know much about the country. Now, Peru means so many things to me!
Pisco Sour, Peru
How could I not speak about the Peruvian national drink! You can find it in every bars or restaurants and every guides will joke about the effect of this delicious beverage… which is in effect surprisingly strong!
La chupe de camarones, Peru
The shrimp chowder, great delicacy of Arequipa, is pure happiness! In general I don’t really like seafood soups (except the fantastic clam chowder from New England!), but I absolutely fell in love with the chupe de camarones!
Su “majestad” el cuy, Peru
In Europe there is this legend about the Peruvians who eat the cute little guinea pig… Well, this is not a legend!
Homey Lima, Peru
Week 3 – Despite its foggy winter, Lima turned out to be a wonderful relaxing stop on our way to the South.
Ceviche de atún al ají amarillo nikkei, Peru
Another gorgeous ceviche!
Ceviche Classico, Peru
The Peruvian ceviche is known worldwide!
Sticky Rice with Mango, Chiangmai, Thailand
Peaceful gourmet break after a delicious afternoon of massages.
