Colombia: Bandeja Paisa

You’ll never go hungry if you have a bandeja paisa in front of you. This dish contains several meats: blood sausage, pork skins, ground pork, and chorizo. It also contains avocado, rice, beans, and fried plantains, a sweet element.

Peru: Ceviche

The most famous raw food fish dish on the planet is probably sushi, but Peru’s is incredibly tasty too. Raw fish, such as shrimp or sea bass, is marinated in citrus juice before being combined with onions and chili peppers for this unforgettable national dish.

Ecuador: Encebollado

Like fish stew? Then you’ll definitely love this Ecuadorian treat. It contains tuna, pickled cassava, and red onion and is often garnished with lime juice and chili.

Argentina and Uruguay: Asado

Grilled meat is all the rage in these two carnivorous countries which share similar gastronomic traditions. Beef and chicken are typically grilled at these meals, which are also considered social events to be shared with family and friends alike.

Well, you would be right! But did you know that the small South American country of Uruguay comes in at #4 on the list? This place, located on the Atlantic coast of the Southern Cone of South America, is one of the most meat-crazed countries on Earth. 

When Spanish settlers came to what is now Uruguay in the early 17th century, they soon realized that the rolling meadows and plains of the territory were perfect for raising cattle. Naturally, they started to raise cows there and quickly began to consume the local meat.

In fact, even today, there are four times more cows than people inside the country!

From that point on, Uruguay has become absolutely wild about meat. In fact, a crucial part of the country’s social life is the organization of barbecues, known as “asados,” in which Uruguayans prepare a large variety of meats, from beef to sausage to lamb, preparing all of the different meats over a large open fire.

Uruguayans are fiercely proud about their meat products, and now export a large quantity of them abroad.

If you ever find yourself in Uruguay, be sure to seek out the opportunity to enjoy a traditional meat-based meal.
