My favourite meal (blog post 4)

Hi, I'm going to talk you about one of my favourite meals, because I can't choose just one. The food is delicious and so varied! Well, I choose the charquicán because it's a meal that makes me remember my childhood and the enthusiasm with wich I ate that plate of food when I was little.

This is a typical chilean preparation that find its birth in the sixteenth century, when the miners of the andean highland zone discovered this meal mixing vegetables and the most important ingredient, the charqui. Now, the most accepted investigation proposes that the word "charquicán" comes from the kechua, and it means jumble or stew with charqui.

Is important to mention that there are many types of this males, which vary depending on the ingredients that contain.

When I was little I ate meat with great pleasure, but now I'm vegetarian because of personal convictions, so now I just eat charquicán with cochayuyo, ingredient that I really like.
