What's ironic is that, after spending lots of time in other countries--- Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Colombia--- we reached the conclusion that Peruvian food was the absolute worst imaginable; in fact, the aforementioned other countries all had cuisine ranging from quite palatable to exquisitely delicious. Now, in many cities, Peruvian haute-cuisine restaurants are quite the vogue.
