LOL!  You watch t.v. to fall asleep? To funny!

I’m going to look at your ceviche recipe now.  thanks!

Paz

Do you think it would make your Peruvian mad to learn that I have prepared Australian ceviche? A few different versions too, but the one I remember best was at Xmas when my brother-in-law who would never eat any meat not cooked by heat, surprised me with some fresh salmon he wanted cooked on top of everthing else. So I cut it into pieces and marinated it in lemon juice (all that was available at the time) and served it up to him with no explanation until after he had eaten it. He hasn’t surprised me since!

Hola Paz, yes, I do not know why…but it is the truth. Even when I go to the movies its the perfect time to take a nap LOL!

Neil: Oh My! what a great story…I am sure the Peruvian reader in question is quite mad by now :D

Gaston is really catching up the wave of peruvian food. He has several restaurants here in Perú and is openning new ones in different countries. Congrats on the “Best Latin America” bloggie awards. Soon Blogalaxia.com will be launching an special contest and I think you’ll have chances . Keep the good work!

we made lovely ceviche for our UK foodbloggers workshop “cocina mexicana” recently - have already blogged about it. ceviche is definitely one of my favourite dishes, i even voted it one of the “5 things you must eat before you die”...

Must say, I’ve never understood why people go so crazy for ceviche - sushi is better.  Hunter Cashdollar

Hmmm—-I have to agree, sushi is quit tasty. BUT ceviche is somehow unique! Thanks for your comment ;D

I LOVE Bourdain’s show! He is so funny and it is great to watch a show were people are eating food in context—not just in restaurants. As for ceviche…people can get testy about their historical claims on food, can’t they? This explanation will really annoy the Peruvian claim:
“Historian María Rostworowski, author of A History of the Tahuantinsuyo, has another hypothesis: in 1535, four Moorish slave women were sent from Spain to Peru to serve the Spanish conqueror Francisco Pizarro. Possibly, when they saw people eating raw fish with salt and ají, they were repulsed by what they considered savage behavior, yet they may have thought the dish might taste better marinated in the juice of that green, round fruit they had brought from far away: limes. Or, oranges.
Seibech is an Arabic word for acidic foods. Since Peruvians did not speak Arabic, they only heard something that sounded like ceviche.”

Maybe ceviche was born in a moment of cooking inspiration by 4 African women encountering the food stuffs of Peru? we’ll never know for sure.

Bummer about the nasty comment though. I hate that…

Hello, peruvian here! he he he, well I like too much eating ceviche here, is delicious, specially in summer, i think is because of the kinds of “ajies” (capsicum spp) that grow here, and also the lemon wich I think is different than in other places.
Some time ago peruvians believe that ceviche was a strictly peruvian, but I know by media and friends from other countries, that ceviche is made ... for example in mexico, I have heard that some people use tomatoes to prepare it, I haven´t try those ceviches ... but I recomend the peruvian ceviche, and all the peruvian food, in my country there is a huge variety of food, because of the mix of races: spanians, incas, africans, chinnese, japannese, etc, and also for the variety of wheathers, deserts coast, andean snow places and amazon rain forest, and also because we are part of one of the centers of origen of the cultivated plants, sud american center according Vavilov, together with Ecuador and Bolivia

“what a nice blog!”
Very usefull (and funny ^^) info. see you!

really nice video lol

Just to add to the ceviche blog craze - I recently wrote about it as well when I returned from a trip to Peru earlier this month!  You should ask that mean commenter about why Peruvian cuisine includes so many elements of other international foods - for example, Peruvian chinese has become a standard fusion category within the country!

I totally agree with you Swati! Thanks for your visit…

Has anyone tried the ceviche they are importing from the Republic of Panama.  It comes in three varieties: shrimp, mixed seafood, and octopus.  Ceviche!  http://www.cevichepescafina.com

I like Anthony Bourdain show, he seems to be smoking a lot.
