Cena Day 1

Since the batteries on my camera died (DAMN IT!), I'm going to have to focus this post on some more Peruvian Cuisine.Dinner on my first night in Peru was at Pascuale, a popular new restaurant by some famous Chef that is attempting to create Peru's equivalent of fast food. Apparently, his way of doing this is by putting a variety of Peruvian dishes on french bread and calling them sandwiches.Even if the idea is a bit lazy the results are pretty tasty. I chose a Value Meal that included the Lomo Pascuale with Yuca Fritas and an Inca Kola.Inca Kola is the preferred soda of Peru. The only soda in the world that outsells Coca-Cola in any region of the world. Coca-cola realized that they couldn't beat Inca Kola in Peru so they did the next best thing: they bought the Inca Kola company. You can immediately notice that the portion of soda that comes with the meal is mighty small...I'd guess 8-10 oz (way less than a can).Yuca comes from the same family as the potato but is a bit longer and stringier in texture. It's a bit heavy...but it's consistency makes it a far more substantive finger food than the "french fry".The main course, the Lomo Pascuale consists of thinly sliced steak with some cheese, chimi churri sauce, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. It doesn't really taste "Peruvian"...but it's a darn good sandwich. I GUESS it's supposed to be Lomo on bread but Lomo is steak and pretty much every country makes steak, right?
