‘World Theme Travel – My Liberation Journey, Peru’ Part 4 ‘Foods Given by God’ will be broadcast today (the 4th) at 8:40 PM on EBS1 TV. Choi Yoon-ji (South American sports interpreter) will join.
Lima, the capital of Peru, where the sea and the desert coexist. Lima was the capital established during the Spanish colonial period. Let’s go find street food that can be easily eaten in Lima. A simple cheese sandwich (Pan con queso) shop with avocado and cheese. It is quite expensive food in Peru. However, it was crowded with upper-class white people. We tasted chicharrón, a pork dish served with bread and sweet potato fries…
We face the back of Lima from the Wall of Shame, which divides the slums and the rich areas of Lima. We feel sad seeing the two worlds that are so clearly contrasting with the Wall of Shame. However, we find warmth and love there. We taste the traditional Peruvian dessert, Picarones, and fill our stomachs with Peruvian chicken soup, Aguadito De Pollo.
As I was leaving Lima, I heard a sad legend on the beach. The cliff of the monk (El Salto del Fraile) where a monk who was pessimistic about an unrequited love jumped off. There is a monk who jumps from there every day. Let’s find out what the story is.
Paracas, a vast coastal desert 300km from Lima. Peru is an unexpected seafood powerhouse, a paradise. We meet a young fisherman from Paracas and head out to the sea. Eating scallops with lemon juice and salt is the Paracas style! Pisco Sour, Peru’s national drink made with egg whites and lemon juice, originated in Paracas.
Continue your journey by boarding a boat to Ballestas Islands. Standing on the boat, you can see the Paracas Candelabra, a painting on the desert. You will be amazed by the 180m-tall painting. What is the secret of the painting on the desert that has not been erased for a long time?
The basis of the taste of Peruvian food was in the Andes Mountains. Moray, the agricultural experiment site of the Inca civilization. The crops tested here hundreds of years ago were potatoes and corn. It may be that thanks to the experiments of that time, potatoes were able to become the representative crop of the world. Huatia, a traditional way of roasting famine relief crops by heating a stone stove! The beginning and end of Peruvian food were potatoes. There were dozens of ways to eat potatoes in Peru. Thanks to the Peruvian people who are grateful to nature and cultivate and eat as much as God allows, they are becoming healthy.
