    I'd love to learn more about some South American cuisine, but I don't know enough about it to pick a specific country.

      Peru!

      In Peru we have...

      • 4000 varieties of potatoes
      • quinoa
      • choclo, a large kernel variety of field corn that is often eaten toasted and salted
      • ceviche everywhere
      • Chifa, or Peruvian-Chinese cuisine, such as Lomo Saltado
      • Cuy (sorry vegetarians)
      • a variety of alcoholic drinks, such as chicha and pisco sour (which can be turned into a coca sour by using the coca leaf)
      • and Inca Kola, such a popular soft drink that it beat out Coke for the Peruvian market
