I never SAW-sage a thing...Platos Tipicos para Semana Santa in Ayacucho

So here is the ¨Dish¨ literally. The favorite plate or foods that are typically consumed during Semana Santa in Ayacucho. The plate is Chorizo (The spicy sausage all broken up, not in link form) it is fried up and served with what else, potatoes. They put that atop lettuce and serve it with a beet and carrot salad. To wash it all down is PONCHE or milk flavored with peanuts, sesame seed, sugar and coconut. It is served warm. When ponche is served cold and moved around really fast it becomes a street treat called muyuchi (moy u chi) or Andean Ice Cream. I ate the infamous Chorizo today. Some of the restarants have it, but the place to go is the street that runs perpendicular to the Telefonica building (a well known site). The street below has been portioned off and "official" Holy Week vendors or atleast that is what their little smocks say have set up sidewalk restaurante row. In true Peruvian business fashion....little tents with picnic table and gas burner sidewalk cafes line the sides of the street and all sell the same stuff, for about the same price. 8 soles for a plate of chorizo (OW! That is like 3 dollars and yes for a plate of Chorizo off the street in Ayacucho that is alot). Arroz con pollo, escabeche de pollo, tallarin con pollo, and chorizo. They also have masamora (fruit pudding), chicha morada, and ponche. So really you just pick one that you think you can trust, and go at it!
