While traveling in Peru and sampling many different kinds of Peruvian cuisine, we thought it would be a great idea to sit down and do a complete Peruvian food taste test. After raiding a local Wong's grocery store and a few corner stores nearby the comfy confines of our apartment in Miraflores, it was time to let our taste buds take over.

The Peruvian snacks we selected are typical things you would find anywhere including Peruvian snacks, Peruvian junk food, Peruvian chocolate bars, Peruvian chips, Peruvian wafers, Peruvian sodas and Peruvian candies just to name a few. When it comes to eating sometimes our eyes are much bigger than our stomachs ;)

Overall, when considering things to do in Peru, I can't think of anything better than tucking into the local favorites. Peru (and Lima in particular) is the foodie capital of South America and trying many of these snacks for the first time was an adventure for our taste buds. Watch us as we react to the food. The following is a comprehensive list of all the things we tried from sweet to salty:

1) Chifles - Salty banana chips
2) Chin Chin - Chocolate cookies with colored sprinkles
3) Andean Native Potato Crisps - Purple Potato Chips
4) Inca Kola - Peruvian Cola that golden, refreshing and sweet
5) Perita - Pear candies that taste more like banana
6) Cua Cua - Chocolate covered Peruvian wafers with a duck logo
7) Doña Pepa - Peruvian cookie with chocolate and sprinkles
8) Camote - Sweet potoate chips that were really salty
9) Inka Corn - Peruvian corn nuts flavored with artificial cheese
10) Yucca chips - Starchy chips made from the Yucca root
11) Sublime - Peruvian White Chocolate with peanuts
12) Chicha Morada - Sweet purple corn juice that is refreshing
13) Sublime con leche con mani - Peanut milk chocolate
14) Besos de Moza - Krembo chocolate cookie with marshmallow

Out of all of the foods we taste tested I liked the Inca Kola and Besos de Moza the most while Audrey was infatuated with the Doña Pepa. Do you have a favorite Peruvian snack to eat? Let us know in the comments section below.
