Eating Habits

 Hello, I´m Miguel. I´m from Perú. In the morning I eat fried plantain with some cecina or chorizo, sometimes my mom makes sandwiches and papaya juice when she doesn't go to work.

For lunch, we usually ask for delivery, but if I have the opportunity to cook something I definitely would cook lomo saltado or some spaguetti. Those are my favorite foods. They're super delicious.

For dinner, we have some fast food, It can be hamburguers, roasted chicken, chicken wings or pizza. Insurrecta pizza is the best one in Iquitos by far, you can have it from chezz maggy restaurant. I also like having chicken soup for dinner, when the days are rainy or cloudy. Feels good eating it and going to your bed feeling warm.

Papas rellenas are the best food for everytime of the day, nowadays are not usually seen in the streets. I think I like them too much because my father used to make them when I was a child. 

Papas rellenas are not an easy job, you have to smash the potatoes, cook the meat wich goes inside the potatoes, I think that's why is really hard to find an spot where these are sold.

The history says when peruvian military used to walk long distances to figth against the chilean military, they used to carry a lot of potatoes and spices so when they have time to rest they could kill an animal and used their meat as a filling.

You can find inside them, chopped boiled eggs, olives and raisins. It's delicious, don't miss the chance to try it.
