We spent one of our days in Santiago exploring the city to find out what Chilean foods are all about, and to find the best types of foods and street food in Santiago, Chile.
To start things off we headed to Central Market (Mercado Central de Santiago) where we came across a place called Emporio Zunino which is rumoured to have some of the best empanadas in Santiago. The line up was long but quick and we bought an empanada de queso (cheese) and empanada de pino (with meat).
Next up we headed out on a hunt for a cookie we’d heard a lot about but at first we had a difficult time finding one. Finally we found cookie, called alfajores, which is filled with dolce de leche- it was a bit different than we expected as it also had chocolate on top.
After that we again found something we’d been having a hard time finding, a drink called mote con huesillo. It’s a peach drink served with a dried peach that has been cooked in sugar with husked wheat at the bottom. Definitely the strangest thing we tried all day.
Next on our list was a hot dog, referred to as a completo. On the hot dog you’ll find avocado, tomatoes and mayonnaise.
Lastly we made our way to a rooftop bar (at the Singular Hotel) with incredible views, where we wanted to try a Chilean Pisco Sour. We’d had one previously in Lima.
ABOUT CHILEAN FOOD
Chilean gastronomy stems mainly from the combination of traditional Spanish cuisine, Chilean Indigenous Mapuche culture and local ingredients, with later important influences from other European cuisines, particularly from Germany, Italy and France. The food tradition and recipes in Chile are notable for the variety of flavours and ingredients, with the country’s diverse geography and climate hosting a wide range of agricultural produce, fruits and vegetables. The long coastline and the peoples' relationship with the Pacific Ocean add an immense array of seafood products to Chilean cuisine, with the country's waters home to unique species of fish, molluscs, crustaceans and algae, thanks to the oxygen-rich water carried in by the Humboldt Current. Chile is also one of the world’s largest producers of wine and many Chilean recipes are enhanced and accompanied by local wines.
