Chile is a country situated in the west coast of South America, and is extended along the Pacific Ocean, it has almost 3 thousand miles of coast. Because most of the land is between mountains, with not plenty of room to grow cattle, they have developed wonderful recipes with seafood. They also have the finest vineyards, so if you go to Chile, be sure to eat sea products and drink their wine!
Along their coasts they have all kinds of sea products, and are famous because of them. As their land is not abundant, they must import most of their meats, and many vegetables.
But before the Spanish came, the Indians who lived in that region, used corn in their dishes, and this ingredient continues being an important part of their cuisine up to these days.
When Spanish people came in the 1500s they brought chicken, rabbits, pigs, and beef. So, the combination of the Spanish and native ingredients formed the popular dishes that today are so popular and characteristic of the food from Chile.
Since Chile has received immigrants from all over the world, there we can find a mixture of Italian food, Arab's herbs and spices and even the British love for the tea. This is enjoyed up to these days, as inviting friends for teatime is a very popular and enjoyable habit between the Chileans. They take their four meals per day, being tea time a very important moment.
For sweet dishes, they have so many delicious fruits, Italian-like ice creams, German origin's pastries and cakes recipes. So trying food in Chile, is always a surprise. But what one cannot miss is the sea food, as in cooking those dishes they are experts!
