Potatoes come in hundreds (yes, hundreds) of different varieties, and the most common type of corn is far from your average peaches &#8216;n&#8217; cream \u2013 the kernels are massive (and thus more fibrous). It&#8217;s not as flavourful, but with time, I&#8217;ve acquired a taste for the local corn in Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/p374461739-3.jpg\" alt=\"maize in Peru, with its large kernels, is what Chicha is made of\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Making use of one of these staple foods, chicha is a drink made from corn. It&#8217;s popular not only in Peru but in many parts of Central and South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The non-alcoholic version of chicha is called chicha morada, which is made from purple corn. Seasoned with cinnamon and cloves and brewed to be very sweet, it&#8217;s a delicious drink that is slightly reminiscent of mulled cider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even more common than chicha morada is the alcoholic version which is made from fermented corn (the yellow kind), and is consumed <i>en masse<\/i> by the locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically, \u201cchicha\u201d is a word used in the Andes for almost <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chicha\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"any homemade fermented drink (opens in a new tab)\">any homemade fermented drink<\/a>, using different grains or fruits depending on the area. You might find a street vendor selling three types of chicha: one made from quinoa, one with maize, and another one made from maize and infused with strawberries (a Cusco specialty, called <i>fruitillada<\/i>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/p3382925-3.jpg\" alt=\"A glass of fruitillada, a form of Chicha, at a street market in Peru\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And although I finally took the plunge by trying the <i>fruitillada<\/i> variety, I also learned that chicha is an acquired taste (which I haven&#8217;t entirely acquired).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To traditionally make chicha, the fermentation process used to be (and probably still is in some places) activated by saliva; women chew the corn before spitting it into a bucket for fermentation and adding other&nbsp;personal touches. Whether or not the chicha I tried was of the saliva variety (and despite the strawberry infusion), I found it difficult to get down.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Cultural Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/p718797901-3.jpg\" alt=\"A broomstick with plastic on the end, a sign that Chicha is for sale inside\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Chicha is generally a family affair, and Peruvians will convert patio corners of their homes into (unlicensed) businesses to sell chicha. You know you&#8217;ve stumbled onto a \u201c<i>chicheria<\/i>\u201d if you see a broomstick pole angled above a darkened doorway and topped with (often red) plastic bags, flowers, ribbons, or baskets. Step inside, and let the cultural experience begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For 1 sole (about 30 cents), you&#8217;ll be served a giant 1\/2 litre glass of the brew of your choice, and second servings are on the house. I watched men and women alike down their glass in an alarmingly short space of time, ponying up for seconds before I even made it through a few sips of my own intimidatingly large glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And whenever you get people together in the spirit of camaraderie lubricated by alcohol, you&#8217;re bound to have an interesting cultural experience. I&#8217;m not a big drinker, but when I was in Panama I must admit my biggest cultural lessons were derived from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/faces-panama-photo-essay\/\">drinking with locals<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i><b>Would you try drinking chicha?<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s the deal on drinking chicha in Peru &#8211; quite the cultural experience, and often quite the acquired taste as well! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10763,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[550],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-peru","resize-featured-image"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What is Chicha?
