Oftentimes, when one is traveling, they find themselves
longing for home and specifically the food. Perhaps because of my mother’s lack
of cooking skills, I usually find that this isn’t the case for me. Despite my
weak stomach, I’ll eat almost anything and most of the time I’ll like it. There
were no longings for the food of home (excluding maybe Mexican food), and I
found it easy to enjoy the food in both Lima and Cusco.

Valeriana feat. my fav empanadas |
I had low expectations
of the food coming into the trip, at least in Cusco because of the altitude and
difficulty of cooking there, but was instead pleasantly surprised. Lima offered
me fresh fish daily, and I ate ceviche almost every day. Cusco offered
comforting soups in the somewhat chilly weather, and other delicious foods. The
thing I miss most, though, are the empanadas. So easily accessible in both Lima
and Cusco, I often found myself craving them for lunch- and I still am at home.
I have searched for places that sell them here- I’m sure I can find them at
home in Arizona but working in Memphis I doubt I’ll find any. To no avail, I
have decided I’ll make my own (we’ll see how it goes).
