Peruvian Supermarket Tour + Peruvian Foods to Buy in Lima, Peru Transcript:

Well hello there Sam. Want to tell us what are we up to today? Hey guys so today we are going to do a Peruvian grocery store tour. Yes! And this is our local shop not far from where we are staying. It is Wong. Wong. Just over your shoulder. It is not a little store. It is a great big store. Two levels yes and there is a lot of unique Peruvian products. Yes. And we're going to try and show you as many of those as we possibly can.

Productos Tipicos Peruanos. First up typical Peruvian products. Yeah. There is a little bit of everything here. Some things I recognize some things I don't. I really like this display because yes you can also find these items in other parts of the store. For instance I know that these um these San Jose what are these called? Ah, turrone. Ah turrones. I've seen these turrones elsewhere I've also seen King Kongs elsewhere but they don't seem to have them today. This is really cool. You get this at the restaurants a lot. Canchita. Oh yeah. We have that for a lot of snacks at your Aunt's house too. Chifles which are plantains slices but they are like chips. Yep. There are surprisingly not sweet and not very salty either.

I know a few words. Rocoto. That is another famous one as well. Oh and my Mom just bought some of these. Yes. She was at the supermarket this morning. Tejas. These are Tejas. Oh how do I ever describe this. It is like a sweet you can have different fillings. Yeah. This can be pecans. Pecans. Pecans. Pecans. Yeah, it is basically pecans or prunes yes and then inside is like manjar blanco yes which is like the caramel spread. Yes. And then you also have it is coated in chocolate.

Alright my favorite section and probably the most colorful section by far in Wong grocery store. The fruit. So look at this. We have this is chirimoya. How would you describe that? It is like a flesh white fleshy. It is white fleshy pulp. Yes. And they put it in cakes. They do. They often have it served with manjar blanco which is similar to dulce de leche. Yeah. The caramel spread. And then look over here. Caramboya. I don't think we've had one of these. Carambolla. I don't know. I've never had that one. And lucuma.

Look Audrey this is your Grandma's favorite item for breakfast. Papaya you can get it whole or already like I guess you could say it is split in half and sort of processed for you. And that is a reasonable price. Like this is 499 or sorry 5.99. Yeah. So you're talking less than $2 US dollars for a giant slice of papaya. It is a pretty good deal.

Audrey check this out. This is also one of my favorite sections too. You can get the giant bundles of limon. The lemons. And these are great because you can make them in all of the different mixed drinks huh?

Like the chilcanos. Pisco sours. Huanaso. Exactly. And yeah you can use them for teas too. When you had a sour throat just the other day I was making you I was making you limon tea with honey and real ginger. Yes. Te de limon. Te de limon.

This is your all-time favorite breakfast in Peru. Peruvian breakfast. Yes it is. What are you getting? Tamales. So what is it?
