Unaged grape brandy. Peru and Chile both claim it; Peruvian pisco is distilled once to proof with no water added.
An ancient Andean corn beer, once central to Inca ceremonies.
Non-alcoholic purple-corn drink from Peru.
Spec: 60 ml pisco, 30 ml lime juice, 20 ml syrup, 1 egg white, drops of Angostura on the foam.
Chilcano is Peru's easy highball: 50 ml pisco, 15 ml lime, ginger ale, bitters.
Fish 'cooked' in lime juice (leche de tigre).
Not one cuisine but dozens: wheat and dairy in the north, rice, coconut and curry leaves in the south, mustard oil and fish in the east, and sweet-sour vegetarian food in the west. Ayurveda's six tastes and religious traditions (Jain, vegetarian) shape it.
China's eight regional cuisines range from fiery numbing Sichuan to delicate, fresh Cantonese. Rice dominates the south, wheat noodles and dumplings the north.
Washoku is UNESCO heritage: seasonality, umami from dashi, and the 'one soup, three sides' meal structure. Presentation matters as much as taste.
Rice, soup and many small side dishes (banchan) with fermentation at the core: kimchi, soy and chilli pastes.
Every dish balances sweet, sour, salty and spicy. Isan in the northeast loves sticky rice and grilled meats; the south uses turmeric and coconut.
Fresh, herb-heavy and light, with French colonial touches like baguettes and coffee.
