Peruvian food is a mixture of some very different types of food. It is a mixture of
Amerindian and Spanish roots, but includes many other small parts of different
cultures. It includes African, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese, cultural foods.
Peruvian food may be in a different country but is still has some of the types of
foods we eat. Peru is known for its food all throughout South America, but it is also
known as a major fishing industry so Peruvian peoples have a good supply of fish. A
few foods we eat are included in almost every dish of Peruvian food. Some of the
foods are rice, potatoes, chicken, pork, fish, lamb, and a few most American people
haven’t heard of are “aji” peppers. The peppers they use in different dishes are
yellow and red “aji” peppers and some red rocoto peppers. All of the peppers are
hot Peruvian peppers.
The flag of Peru is red, white, green, turquoise, gold, brown, and yellow. The red on the
flag stands for blood that was shed from Peruvian peoples while fighting for Peruvian
independence. The white on the flag stands for peace. The difference between the flag
of the country Peru and the state Peru is that the emblem is centered more into the
middle of the flag on the country’s flag. The emblem is the same on both flags. The
national anthem of Peru is the Marcha Nacional National March. The national anthem
has been the same since at least 1822.
Peruvian peoples wear clothes from many different
countries and wear traditional clothing. Women usually
wear dresses (peasant dresses) and wear sandals made
of recycled truck tires called ajotas. Men usually wear
western style clothes and very rarely they wear football
shirts and tracksuit pants.
