Zguy28 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Great thread, Z. Always digging the food threads. But what is up with the Peruvian chicken? I keep on hearing about it -- have not gotten a chance to have it yet. Looks like a regular rotisserie. What makes it so special? Right away I recognized the primary flavor was cumin. :hungry:It comes with a mustard/mayo sauce too. Delish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Puebla and Apizaco (Central Mexico) I have had thick tortillas that you eat openfaced. One guy said that it was a real Chalupa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 12th Commandment Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Oh, and I've gotta mention the wonderful day long process of a chicharronada! We can buy a whole pig skin at the local carnecerias. Trimming it, cutting it into pieces and cooking them up in a huge caldron out back of someones house with plenty of cold beer and usually some horseshoe games going on is one of the best ways to spend a Saturday I've ever experienced. Metanzas are also a similar get together but they involved the killing of a critter and making it into numerous dishes. mmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zguy28 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Okay, you guys have to start explaining what some of these dishes are. The Guatemalan Enchilada: Pickled cabbage and beets grated white cheese hard boiled egg onion ground beef with garlic & peas red salsa parsley (or other herb of choice like cilantro or thyme) Stack it on top of a flat hard shell tortilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gortiz Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 while i'm Obsessed with cooking and eating Thai and Vietnamese food, latin cuisine is as good as at gets. With my mom being from Argentina and the old man being from Puerto Rico i have had an amazing mix of foods from these VERY different countries Grilling is a freaking religion in our family and that comes from my mom and the rice/beans aspect of food comes from dad. Anybody like Malta? sooooooo good. its sweet type of beer with the alchohol. I think it is popular in germany as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gortiz Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 my girlfriend is Salvadorean and introduced to Papusas. They're very good.Also, I'm big fan of Peruvian food which is very insteresting mix of Latin/Chinese food. I know its odd, but thats the only way to explain it. The only latin country that makes Fried Rice. peruvian food is stupid good. crazy mix of styles. its too good. oh man, lomo saltado? yum. made some last weekend.

PCS Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 There is a place here in town that is operated by a few of our local hispanic residents. Food is awesome,though I tend to stay away from the sauce marked "Very Hot." :paranoid: The crew I worked with the past 6 months was also 50% hispanic. Great group of guys and they occasionally would call me over and have me try some of the food they had brought. Always very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Skins_&_'Stons Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Latin American is one of my favorite cuisines!! El Pollo Rico is the ****!! I was so bummed when the Ennals Avenue, Wheaton location burned down (they were two blocks from my office on Amherst Avenue). However, it was probably karma for the employing/harboring illegal aliens and money laundering: http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/md/Public-Affairs/press_releases/press07/OwnersofElPolloRicoRestaurantIndictedinSchemetoHarborandEmployIllegalAliens.html :doh: Thank jeebus that they re-opened on Univeristy Blvd (just a stones throw from the other location). I still go almost every Tuesday & Thrusday for lunch. :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
