  1. Coming out of deep lurk mode with a bit of a puzzlement.

    I have a dinner tonight where the theme is Peruvian food. I am
    bringing one main dish (Huatia) and one appetizer, which is Ceviche.
    According to most recipes I perused, this is traditionally served with
    small ears of corn on the cob on a bed of lettuce, but as a pratical
    matter, there will be (a) way too much food as it is, and (b) corn is
    very out of season in my neck of the woods.

    One thought was to serve it on the bed of lettuce alone, but somebody
    suggested a flat bread. So I start looking and can't find any bread
    recipes for Peru. I would have assumed that they would have
    SOMETHING; I've never heard of a people that doesn't. I asked the
    only folks I know who have spent time there, but they were so far up
    in the Andes that they didn't know the Peruvians even ATE things like
    Ceviche or beef. (On the other hand, they offered several recipes for
    goat and guinea pig...)

    So, what is it? Dinner is tonight, and I need to find something.

    Thanks,

    David

    Of course Peruvians eat bread...put the ceviche on the lettuce leaves, use
    1/2 ears of frozen corn, and/or small boiled red rose or white rose
    potatoes...for bread use small dinner rolls many of the Peruvians are
    descendants of English & German settlers and rolls are readily available in
    Lima....since Peru does have a coastline and ceviche is a dish eaten by
    those in the southern hemisphere...don't forget the aji (side dish) for
    those who like the spicy stuff!

    Thanks for the reply. I knew, of course, that they ate bread; every
    culture has some kind of bread in their diet. I just didn't know what
    kind.
