These popcorn kernels you are talking about are called cancha (roasted corn kernels) which is a nice alternative to chips and salsa that I find in Peruvian resturants.

Peruvian canary beans taste different. The store has those. If anyone has ideas on how to use them, let me know. If you have recipes, I’ll make a separate post on Home Cooking to add them. How’s the cuzco corn?...

Huasteco (?) on Mount Vernon Avenue in Del Ray just north of Glebe Road, across from Auto Zone. Not Cuzco but not bad. They cater to a lot of Salvadorans in the neighborhood, so the pupusas are good too.

MO- CHICA MO-CHICA as i posted before- I returned from Gaston’s new restaurant in Cuzco and went to Mo Chica three times in the next week. Mo-chica was every bit as good, if not imho better (but no need to split hairs) as said...

It’s Qusqo – a transliteration of Cuzco in Peru. They’re brand new – the official opening isn’t until Friday. Went there with a party of six so we got to sample quite a lot of dishes. They were, for...

, that reminded me a lot of horchata. I loved it. In Cusco, the best food was definitely at the Cusco Centro Mercado. The market is sprawling with fruit, corn, so many kinds of potatoes, cheese, whole animals lying skinned and...

The Park Slope location is on 7th avenue at 3rd Street, where the Viet Nam and Cocina Cuzco were.

of Chinese restaurants in the Reno area. They have a $2 drink called Chicha Morada I’d recommend people try. The menu says it is made of black corn that is boiled with pineapple, cinnamon and clove and then mixed with sugar...

could New Yorkers know about great Mexican? Pastrami, corned beef, bagels, Porterhouse steak, but Mexican? Guacamole is prepared tableside at most every better Southwestern restaurant in Albuquerque or Santa Fe. Even...

just tied to the population and it is no differant than pizza anywhere? This link from a Framingham, Mass place seems to focus on the toppings (corn, raisins, hard-boiled eggs and hearts of palm) rather than the crust....

a lot like jamaica with a rich reddish purple color, but had a distinctive sweet spice flavor. Before any dishes arrived, a small cup of roasted corn kernels that were salty and crunchy, but not rock hard like corn nuts, arrived....
