Cuisine of afterlife

The Peruvian historian Luis e. Varcalcel reminds us that the chronicler Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala describes that the Incas, Ayar Marcay Quilla month November in our calendar, so dedicated to the dead whose bodies are extracted from their vaults called PUCUYO. They gave them food and drink are renewing their rich costumes, putting them feathers on the head and sang and danced with them, and put it in his litter and walked through the streets of the town. This month begins to prepare the HUARICHICOS and RUTUCHICOS with males, it also selected for the ACCLLAHUASI girls. (Rodolfo Tafur Zevallos).

Today we see many people go to the cemetery on the day of the dead to celebrate this ancient rite. The pots are prickly, bottles are squeezed to discard the last drop of liquor, bands play the most nostalgic songs and the dancers run the more difficult stunts to pay homage to those who left for better life. Do but… there's better life to be alive and eat Peruvian food?. That alone will know to see the light at the end of the road. Meanwhile, continue to enjoy the good things that has this earthly life: Peruvian food.
