Washington, Mar. 22 (ANDINA). Peruvian gastronomy merges worlds, is interactive, varied and creative, and moves its essence, recipes and cultural interior from one place to another, Peru's Deputy Minister of Cultural Heritage and Cultural Industries, Bernardo Roca-Rey said Tuesday at the Organization of American States (OAS) headquarters in Washington.

In the framework of activities undertaken prior to the recognition of Peruvian gastronomy as Heritage of the Americas, Roca Rey stressed that Peruvian cuisine not only includes ethnic food, but also the one created by descendants of foreigners settled on Peruvian soil.

Roca Rey mentioned Nikkei food as an example, which was created by Peruvian-born descendants of Japanese immigrants; another highlight was the highly popular Chifa food, a creation made by the third generation Chinese immigrants; as well as many more features that enrich variety and identity of every dish.

“These dishes are as Peruvian as the others. Peruvian cuisine is alive and we need to preserve and protect its bio diversity”, the deputy minister stated.

Roca Rey recalled that Peruvian gastronomy became rich throughout history thanks to different colonies that arrived in the country, such as the Italian or the French.

PERUVIAN GASTRONOMY: LIMA, A CITY OF GOOD EATING

Hi My Friends: A VUELO DE UN QUINDE EL BLOG., Peru has been characterized for having the delicious mas and exquisite food in South America. Any tourist who comes to the Peru will be received well and we consider it as one more brother., a brother more that doing an enormous sacrifice leaves his Mother land for going to the house of the girlfriend.

Lima, a city of good eating:

Lima, Dec. 06 (ANDINA). Few nations in the world maintain such a rich culinary tradition as Peru, and few people take as much pride in their food as Peruvians do.

And with good reason, for Peruvian cuisine, boasting a creole mix of African cuisine, Spanish dishes, and Andean delicacies, is among the most diverse in the world, according to an article at allmediany.com.

Thus, in any restaurant in Lima, Peru's capital, one can easily find good food.

But just as Peru has a rich tradition in the realm of food, Peru's history is richer still, and that's where the Antigua Taberna Queirolo comes into play.

Situated across the street from some of Peru's most famous museums from that nation's post-independence "republican" period, this tabern is like a cultural side-show to that history.

The Queirolo family moved to a neighborhood called Magdalena Vieja, founded in the 16th century, during Peru's war of independence.

In 1821, that neighborhood was re-baptized as "Pueblo Libre" (literally, "free town") by General Jose de San Martin, Peru's liberator from Spanish colonial rule, who lived just a block away from where the tabern now stands.

In 1880, Don Santiago Queirolo Raggio, now the patriarch of the Queirolo family, started up his own pub, called the Taberna Queirolo.

Since that time, the tabern has been a common meeting ground for Peru's intellectuals. Located in the heart of a district that came to epitomize modern Peru after independence was won in 1821, the tabern became a symbol of Lima's creole lifestyle and Peru's leading politicians and writers and other members of the educated class frequented the pub almost nightly, listening to good music and calming their thirst with home-made wine and pisco, a strong Peruvian alcoholic beverage, provided by the Queirolo family.

Throughout the nation's history, the Antigua Taberna Queirolo was not only a meeting place for intellectuals but also the breeding ground for the revolutions that ousted tyrant after tyrant in Peru's tumultuous past.
