I know that we are going to visit famous cities and try great wines in Chile, but I have no idea what food I will be able to try in Chile. In order to make this trip more exciting, I cannot help looking into the food culture in Chile.

Local crops are the staple of each regional cuisine which have been prepared for thousands of years by native Indians before the Spanish arrived. Among the most important agricultural crops are maize also known as choclo, quinoa and potatoes. Among fruits lucuma and chirimoya, both native of Peru, and murtilla, endemic to Chile, are among those widely used in desserts.
Among the most popular and widespread typical dishes of Chile are:
Now we not only have the instructions of Chilean wines, but also get the ideas for what are we supposed to order in a Chilean restaurant. I hope everyone has a great trip!
