Chile
Chilean cuisine is a blend of Spanish and indigenous cuisines with a considerable influence from German, French, and Italian immigrants. Chilean food is characterized by an ample use of fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, and seafood. Common Chilean dishes include cazuela, empanadas, humitas, and pastel de choclo.
Chile is a very long and thin country, stretching over 4,300 km from north to south, but only 180 km at its widest point. This geography has had a big impact on the country's cuisine. The northern region of Chile is desert, while the central and southern areas are mountains and valleys. The climate also varies greatly, from the arid north to the temperate central region and the cool, wet south.
This diversity is reflected in the country's cuisine, which includes a wide variety of dishes. Seafood is very popular in Chile, especially in the coastal regions, where fish, shellfish, and other seafood are plentiful. One of the most popular dishes is ceviche, a dish of raw fish marinated in citrus juice and spiced with chili peppers.
