Blog 5 la dia de la comidas incredables.

There is only so many times you can say "Spanish classes were hard but awesome today" before people get your point.  So this is not the story of today, though it certainly is true.

The story if the day is food.

I ate at two restaurants today.

The first cost ~3$ for juice, appetizer, entree with (possible)  complimentary salmonella.  It was good food.  I have no complaints and will return.

The second boasted water bottles that cost the same as the entire lunch bill.  Considered the best restaurant in Peru by some, it lived up to its reputation.  I experienced literally the best things I have ever put in my mouth.  I also paid the most I ever have for a meal (excepting Vegas, which is a whole other story).

I ate a curry whose delicate appearance masked individual vegetables with flavor so balanced that eating more than one at a time would be considered a culinary sin.  It was fickle, changing flovours once or twice as you progressed in every bite, yet was stabilized by a consistent, resonating, and full bodied curry.

There was a macaroon so good it made me like macaroons.  And I strongly dislike macaroons.

There was a piece of chocolate so rich that when I opened my eyes and realized I still had 2/3 left I felt afraid.  What if I had attempted to eat the nugget whole?  Would I have died?  Would my face have melted like in Indiana Jones when those foolish Nazis raided the lost ark?

There was a mango appetizer that was so nuanced I counted 5 different flavor profiles.  It was a cubic centimeter, with 5 distinct flavors.  That's like an appetizer clown car.  Filled with elephants and blue whales.

The presentation was so excellent that the shredded Parmesan pieces were individually placed to be symmetric and upright.

This was an excellent evening of food based debauchery.  I'd recommend it.  Without a doubt in my mind.

Need I say it again? Come visit.
