βOn our walking food tour of Lima with Lima Experience, we tried chicha morada, a sweet drink made from purple corn, ceviche with the spiciest leche de tigre Iβve ever had, and regional fruit like the lucuma from the Peruvian highlands, which tastes a little like a sweet potato and is hard to find in the U.S. At every stop, our tour guide taught us about the history of the dish we were eating and Peruviansβ relationships to it.β
βA sandwich from a dodgy looking little shop in Venice - I was expecting a dry stale roll after long travel day, I got the best sandwich I've had in my life. It was fresh and gorgeous and full of actual mozzarella which I'd never had before and a tomato which was more tomato then I'd ever tasted a tomato being. Almost 20 years later and I still remember that first bite <3β
βMoles in Los Angeles. I hadnβt even heard of this prior to visiting LA (am from Netherlands) but in the food LA sub they really recommended me to try. It had a very fascinating taste, something I truly never had before. I did quite enjoy it and hopefully next time I can try it out in Mexico someday !β
