A Favorite Place to Eat
CHARLES FLOWERS

FUNDAMENTALS

Considering the nation’s finest restaurant, I had to really think about my favorite place to eat in the world. First, I thought about Miami, being the melting pot for all cultural diversity, but Miami, though I love my hot and humid city, didn’t take me to the point of totally pleasure in ethnic cuisine. So, I made my decision on Lima, Peru. Why Lima, Peru you ask? Well, there is plenty of reasons, like the true diversity that lines the “ciudad de Gris”. The phenomenal food from Afro-Peruvian, Chinese, and the native Indigenous people and this is why Lima, Peru is my favorite place in the world to be to eat.
The diversity in Lima, Peru creates a beautiful, natural ambiance taped with style and a great deal of awesome grace. First, the Africans brought a flavor to the Peruvian shores, called criollo (Creole), and Anticuchos, which is a tasty cow’s heart….Yum!!! Another famous, Afro-Peruvian dish is called Cau- Cau, which is Beef tripe, seasoned with yellow chili, turmeric, onion and cloves. It is mixed with chopped potato and served with white rice. The Chinese immigrants brought Ginger and soy, easily to the beautiful country Peru. The term chifa is used to refer to a style of food produced by the fusion of Creole Limean with Chinese Food. The Incas gave the third-largest country in South America, its staple food, like, lechon (pork), Choclo con queso (corn with cheese), and of course the world famous ceviche.
The country of Peru spans through several thousand years with influences of Spanish empire, Inca Empire, and also the European empire. Peru independence was declared in 1821.

    When expanding into another country or a new country there are differences in the way meals are prepared and what the culture as a whole prefers as far as ingredients and overall taste. In our study one of the hypotheses is that in order to be successful in the Brazilian market we will need to add more fresh ingredients to our meals as well as adding spices or other ingredients that are common in Brazilian menus. Our second hypothesis is that our overall atmosphere including décor and music will need to be changed according to the Latin culture. We want our patrons to feel at home in our restaurants and our food to be to their liking so that they will return day after day.…

    Food in America is a passion. This country has elevated the art of gastronomy to a pinnacle seldom seen in the annals of human history. While other countries can boast a longer culinary history, and a more narrowly defined cuisine, America’s position in the culinary world is supported by their unapologetic lack of these constraints. American cuisine has been influenced by a great many things. Primary among the influences has been the introduction of immigrant cultures into the “Great American Melting Pot” resulting in an eclectic cuisine unique in the world for its diversity and surprising homogeneity. The “Melting Pot” metaphor is appropriate, as the immigrants of different nationalities retained their cultural characters’ and yet blended together to become a single people. As such, dining in the United States demands a knowledge of all the…

Within the time frame of a century, seized and subjugated a vast majority of opposing tribes.

The Inca Empire had become one of the largest empires in the world at that time.…
