Traditional food from Chile

Pastel de choclois a traditional peruvian and chilean plate made of fresh ground corn (choclo) with basil. It is traditionally served in a paila (earthenware bowl). Commonly mixed in with the choclo is ground beef, chicken, black olives, onions and/or slices of hard boiled eggs.

  1. Your postings need to include more of you. Just posting a dish is certainly not enough. How would you cook it? Have you had it? Did you like it? I need to see more elaboration.

  2. Interesting... this is how I would describe this plate. It has a very rare and unique aspect, but at the same time, I think I would love to try it. It sure is very different from the foods I tipically eat, but I wouldn't mind trying it. I find it very interesting that they based a whole plate on corn. I think that each country has its own specialty and their own unique taste. I respect and admire all the food from around the world and I wish I could try every single food there is to try. I really like your blog, because it gives me the opportunity to learn about different foods from all around the world, but I think you should get more in depth and give your opinion. I hope to see new posts.
