Peru, a South American country, is a relatively strange country to most people in China. Before I went to Peru, many family members and friends didn't know which continent I was going to, whether Peru was in Africa or Europe, but after I explained it to them, they began to get to know the country. It is true that Peru will be less popular than Brazil, a South American country. Although its international popularity will be lower than that of Brazil, it is undeniable that Peru is a very colorful country.

You can feel incredible when you say it. The proportion of Chinese descendants in Peru is the highest among all South American countries. According to local people, if this country has a population of about 30 million, then the number of Chinese descendants in this country is close to 654.38+00000. In this way, there are quite a few Chinese descendants in Peru, and it is quite normal to meet some Chinese descendants here.

A closer look reveals that there are many Chinese restaurants in Peru. Except for a few tourists from China, most of them are actually Peruvian natives. It seems that most Peruvians still like Chinese food. Chinese restaurant signs in Peru basically have a very special English word "Chifa", which is actually similar to "eat rice" in Cantonese, meaning "eat". Chinese restaurants in Peru have also integrated the practice of Peruvian food, and Peruvian food has also integrated the characteristics of Chinese food because of its influence.

Although influenced by Chinese food, the traditional dishes in Peru have not changed. Among them, Peru's famous dish roast Dutch pig has the traditional characteristics of Peruvian cuisine. Compared with other pigs, Dutch pigs are smaller and have higher nutritional value. Because Dutch pigs are easy to breed and feed, they have been a food source in Peru for about 5,000 years. According to local people, Peru also has the annual Dutch Pig Festival. In this festival, Dutch pigs will be dressed up in various ways by their owners and eaten as food after the festival.

What makes people feel very interesting is that after the Spanish came to Peru, Dutch pigs were kept as pets by the Spanish because of their cuteness. Therefore, the Dutch pig once became the darling of European countries, and it can be said that it is an animal that changes its fate by its face value. After I came to Peru to see the Dutch pigs in person, I found that the face value of these Dutch pigs is still quite high and looks very cute. If you don't know it is a kind of food, it is estimated that few people will want to eat it.

Although it seems cruel to eat Dutch pigs, you will definitely regret not eating them once in Peru. The meat here is tender and the skin is crisp. Personally, I definitely want to eat. After coming to Peru, I found that most Peruvians are very hospitable. Most people here are friendly to tourists, but few Peruvians deliberately embarrass tourists. The pace of life in Peru is still much slower than that in China, so most people here still don't have a strong sense of time. If you invite Peruvians out to play, you should reserve free time.

Picarones are Peruvian doughnuts. They are fried with sweet potato, pumpkin, flour, yeast, sugar and fennel. The most important thing in life is to learn to enjoy and put aside the fat ones.
