Peruvian Cuisine
Peruvian cuisine has been influenced by cuisines from China, Spain, Italy, Germany and some African countries for about 400 years. Therefore it is a good example of fusion cuisine. Andean stews are combined with wok techniques. That is why you can get rice with fried vegetables in practically any restaurant; Arroz salteado. But this is very rarely necessary. In the tourist villages there is a wide range of vegan, vegetarian and vegan-friendly restaurants. You can eat yourself round as a ball.
The novoandine cuisine is the interpretation of traditional Andean dishes with modern cooking techniques of haute cuisine.
The Peruvian cuisine is spicy with aji. As a greeting from the kitchen often comes Canchito: roasted corn, which tastes similar to popcorn.
Tamales and humitas are usually not vegan because they contain meat and cheese.
