"Mistura" is the biggest gastronomic fair in Peru (and apparently the biggest one in Latinamerica), this particular country has develop for a few years by now his food industry, we could say there's a gastronomic "boom" of Peruvian food which is in a really high demand. I had the pleasure to go to this year's edition (from Sept 6th to the 15th) so here are few tips and comments about it and hopefully you will like it and visit it next year! So here we go ...
The Entrance
- Buy your ticket before - just to safe you some time, they are sold in a well - know supermarket in Lima. It costed between 5.50 (Mon and Tuesday) and 9.50 USD .
- Go early - I know I know, this might sound like a cliché but if really want to enjoy the hole fair you will need to go early; also if you don't want to loose time looking for a parking lot (if you go by car) The opening time is at 11:00 am.
Cupcake "sculpture" made of chocolate
- Use a comfy outfit -trainers, not very fancy clothes (you will eat and walk a lot! hahaha not really) I went with flats an it finished all covered with dirt! You'd probably don't want to ruin your shoes!
"Pachamanca" cooked underground
- Enter and buy the exchange tickets - All the stands of food don't receive cash, you need to change your cash/or pay by credit card for the same amount of money but in tickets. (Places that receive cash: the market and stands where you can buy water and sodas)
- Make a list of what you want to eat and go for it - This tip probably won't be very helpful for everyone 'cuz maybe you don't know exactly what they offer but take the map and mark your favorite places and go for it; as the time goes by the queues became longer and longer.
Typical food called "Chancho al palo"
So if you would like to know more about this country: culture, food, music, dance, people, etc. you should totally go next year!
