CHICLAYO, Gastronomie
Chiclayo and Lambayeque as a whole, is famous for
their excellent food, a cuisine with ancestral secrets that
meets the most demanding of tastes.
Traditional dishes are arroz con pato (rice with fried duck
prepared with coriander), cabrito (fried or stewed kid), cebiche
(raw fish marinated in lemon juice), causa (mashed potatoes
filled with vegetables or tuna fish), espesado (thick soup made
of meat) and others, all of which are perfectly complemented
with chicha de jora, a liquor made from fermented corn dating
back to pre-Hispanic times. As far as desserts are concerned,
one must try the king kong (cake filled with milk-based fudge,
quince jelly and figs), alfajores (pastry filled with almonds,
honey and sesame) and machacado de membrillo (mashed quince). |
