Chilean food placed among the best in the world above Peru

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Chilean food surprised and surpassed Peru in the “Ranking of World Cuisines” published by Taste Atlas.

The page specializes in highlighting the emblematic food dishes of each country. It shared through Twitter the ranking of the 50 best cuisines in the world.

“Each country’s rating is obtained by the users’ average of that country’s 30 best dishes, drinks, and food products.

The publication indicated that countries not on the list do not have enough qualified elements.

Thus, Chile was ranked 30th globally, and third place in Latin America, behind Mexico (number 7) and Brazil (place 12), surpassing neighboring countries recognized worldwide for their gastronomy, such as Peru (number 32) and Argentina (place 33).

Meanwhile, the top ten places were occupied by Italy, Greece, Spain, Romania, France, Japan, Mexico, Croatia, Portugal, and India, respectively.

PERU: WORRYING?

The publication caused astonishment in the Altiplano country. “To worry about it? Peruvian cuisine appeared below Chilean cuisine in a world ranking,” stated El Comercio.

“The position of Peruvian cuisine in said list surprised since Peru is often considered one of the most sought-after culinary destinations globally, even more than Chile and other countries in the Americas,” the newspaper added.

In addition, the ranking published on the official Taste Atlas Twitter account received a dozen responses from people defending Peruvian food, assuring that, for being recognized worldwide by several chefs, it deserved a better placement.

“Peru and Argentina, 32nd and 33rd place in best cuisine? The United States, 13th place? “All wrong vote; I think Peru is very low, only ahead of Argentina. It seems strange to me if we compare the variety of dishes,” were some of the comments.
