Food Experiences

• Mike: Hi, John. How was your trip to the Amazon region? I saw your photos on your social network pages.

• John: Hi, Mike. Yes, I went there with my whole family, except for my brother. He had to work that week. Anyway. Did you see the picture with the food?

• Mike: Yeah, what was that? It looked like worms.

• John: They’re chontacuros. It’s a traditional dish from the Amazon region. I’ve never eaten them before, but I liked it a lot. I think it’s important to try out local dishes; they’re part of our cultural identity.

• Mike: I agree. When I was in Chinchipe I ate ants. I didn’t want to try them, but I loved that dish.

• John: So did I. I ate those ants last year. To be honest, I prefer chontacuros, they taste like chicken, but ants are insects.

• Mike: As you said, they’re part of our identity. I guess they are crunchy and delicious.

• John: I disagree with you, my friend. (laughs)

• Mike: You know, there’s one dish I haven’t tried yet. It’s cuy.

• John: Neither have I. Hey, next week we’re going to travel to Cuenca, and we can try that dish. I´ll pay for it.

• Mike: Sounds great to me. Thank you.
