Titolo: Informazioni su pasti Perù

Ciao a tutti,
volendo andare in Perů ho contattato un'agenzia
che mi offre un tour non comprensivo di pasti
(senza pensione!), non essendo mai andato in Perů
qualcuno di voi piů esperto potrebbe dirmi
quanto (pressapoco!) si spenderebbe per mangiare;
ho visitato alcuni siti ma niente di specifico.
2. Consigliate un viaggio senza pensione?
Grazie in anticipo per la risposta
A presto

qui troverai le risposte che cerchi.

ood & Drink:
Not surprisingly for a country with such a diversity of geography and
climates, Peru boasts the continent's most extensive and varied menu.
In fact, Peru is rivalled in Latin America only by Mexico in the
variety of its cuisine. One of the least expected pleasures of a trip
to Peru is the wonderful food on offer, and those who are willing to
forego the normal traveller's fare of pizza and fried chicken are in
for a tasty treat. Peruvian cuisine varies from region to region, but
basically can be divided into coastal, highland and tropical.
Coastal cuisine Not surprisingly, the best coastal dishes are those
with seafood bases, with the most popular being the jewel in the
culinary crown, ceviche. This delicious dish of raw white fish
marinated in lemon juice, onion and hot peppers can be found in
neighbouring countries, but Peruvian is best. Traditionally, ceviche
is served with corn-on-the-cob, cancha (toasted corn), yucca and sweet
potatoes. Another mouth-watering fish dish is escabeche - fish with
onions, hot green pepper, red peppers, prawns (langostinos), cumin,
hard-boiled eggs, olives, and sprinkled with cheese.
Highland cuisine The staples of highland cooking, corn and potatoes,
date back to Inca times and are found in a remarkable variety of
shapes, sizes and colours. Two good potato dishes are Causa and
carapulca. causa is made with yellow potatoes, lemons, peppers,
hard-boiled eggs, olives, lettuce, sweet cooked corn, sweet cooked
potato, fresh cheese, and served with onion sauce. Another potato dish
is papa a la huancaina, which is topped with a spicy sauce made with
milk and cheese. The most commonly eaten corn dishes are choclo con
queso, corn on the cob with cheese, and tamales, boiled corn dumplings
filled with meat and wrapped in banana leaf. A dish almost guaranteed
to appear on every restaurant menu is lomo saltado, a kind of
stir-fried beef with onions, vinegar, ginger, chilli, tomatoes and
fried potatoes, served with rice. And not forgetting that popular
childhood pet, cuy (guinea pig), which is considered a real delicacy.
Tropical cuisine The main ingredient in much jungle cuisine is fish,
especially the succulent, dolphin-sized paiche, which comes with the
delicious palmito, or palm-hearts, and the ever-present yucca and
fried bananas. The various Peruvian fruits are wonderful. They include
bananas, the citrus fruits, pineapples, dates, avocados (paltas),
eggfruit (lúcuma), the custard apple (chirimoya) which can be as big
as your head, quince, papaya, mango, guava, the passion-fruit
(maracuyá) and the soursop (guanábana). These should be tried as
juices or ice cream - an unforgettable experience.
Eating out The high-class hotels and restaurants serve international
food and, on demand, some native dishes, but the best places to find
native food at its best are the taverns (chicherías) and the local
restaurants (picanterías).
Lunch is the main meal, and apart from the most exclusive places, most
restaurants have a set lunch menu, called menú or menú económico. The
set menu has the advantage of being ready and is served almost
immediately and it is usually cheap; as little as US$1.75-3.50 for a
three course meal. But don't leave it too late - most Peruvians eat
lunch around 1230-1300.
An à la carte lunch or dinner costs US$5-8, but can go up to an
expensive US$80 in a first-class restaurant, with drinks and wine
included. Dinner in restaurants is normally about 1900 onwards, but
choice may be more limited than lunchtime.
The situation for vegetarians is improving, but slowly. In tourist
centres you should have no problem finding a vegetarian restaurant (or
a restaurant that has vegetarian options), especially Cusco and
Arequipa and, of course, Lima. Elsewhere, choice is limited and you
may find that, as a non-meat eater, you are not understood.
Drink
Peru's most famous drink is pisco, a grape brandy made in the Ica
valley, used in the wonderful pisco sour, a deceptively potent
cocktail which also includes egg whites and lime juice. Peruvian beer
is very good, but is becoming pretty much the same the country over
now that many individual brewers have been swallowed up by a
multinational. This has happened to the Cusqueña, Arequipeña, Callao
and Trujillo brands. In Lima, the Cristal and Pilsener are both pretty
good and serve

Vai tranquillo anche senza *pensione*. Se ti piacciono il pollo ed il
pesce (normalmente fritti) e non sei troppo schizzinoso stai tranquillo
che spendi poco e sopravvivi fino alla fine del viaggio. Io ci sono
andato, purtroppo 10 anni fa, senza tour e senza pensione, con il solo
biglietto per Lima ed č andato tutto benissimo, molto meglio che con un
Tour organizzato.
Ti invidio per la meta che hai scelto.

Da pochi spiccioli a 10 euro (in ottimi ristoranti), fuori Lima. Nella
capitale, invece, puoi spendere pochissimo o molto, dipende da te. La
cucina peruviana è molto buona, ma come da ogni parte l'importante è
sapere dove andare, per cui fatti consigliare...
Ad Arequipa, ad es., mangi piatti tipici eccellenti a Tradicion
Arequipeña, in Dolores (qualsiasi tassista ti saprà portare), oppure
grigliate argentine in Plaza de Armas, al Gaucho (ma esistono tanti altri
posti, anche molto belli). A Cusco vi sono molti ristoranti, sia in Plaza
de Armas, sia nelle altre piazzette e vicoli: il Don Antonio è molto
buono, così come la Piccola Locanda, gestita da un italiano (Matteo).
