Extreme STREET FOOD Tour in Cusco, Peru - CORN BEER PORK CHOP + Crazy Spicy Chilies Tour!

CUSCO, PERU - This was a fully unplanned street food tour of Cusco, Peru, we just set off in the morning and decided to eat what we could find, visit some markets, and just enjoy the really local food of Cusco, Peru. It turned out to be an amazing day, full of surprises, friendly people, and delicious Andes food! #Cusco #Peru #PeruvianFood

Quinoa - This is a very popular breakfast in Cusco, which is a seed of a flower, rich in nutrients, and native to the Andean region. It’s made into a drinkable porridge with fruit. We also tried Maca, a Peruvian ginseng, used as traditional medicine in the Andes. Price - 1 PEN ($0.30) per cup

Mercado de Wanchaq - We then headed over to the market, bought some Rocoto chilies (Scoville scale: 50,000 – 250,000 SHU), and headed to the food court section. I was interested in trying an Andean dish call Chairo - Freeze dried potato stew. Price - 3 PEN ($0.91) per bowl

Kapchi de habas - Somewhere on a street corner in Cusco, we then tried a dish of fava beans with potato and cauliflower, I think a bit of cheese in there too. With a sprinkle of tomatoes and rocoto chili, it was delicious. 4 PEN ($1.22) Price per bowl

Peruvian pork adobo - Pork stewed in chicha (corn beer) - But nothing in the day compared to the ultimate dish - Peruvian adobo stew, with an entire pork chop stewed in local corn beer with rocoto chilies. It’s delicious, and very very porky. 11 PEN ($3.34) - Price per bowl

San Pedro Market - Next we headed over to San Pedro Market, which is one of the most famous and well known markets in Cusco, Peru. The food court is astounding, and there’s so much to choose from.

Tarwi - Species of Andean Lupin. If not prepared correctly, it’s poisonous from bitter alkaloids. 5 PEN ($1.52) - Price per plate

Trucha Frita - Fried trout plate. 5 PEN ($1.52) - Price per plate

Avocado and Mango - Perfect fruit shake. 6 PEN ($1.82) - Price per shake

Peruvian Chicharron - Finally to end this Peruvian street food tour of Cusco, Peru, we couldn’t miss chicharron, Peruvian style fried pork served with fried potatoes. It was all you could ever want in fried pork, oily and delicious. 10 PEN ($3.04) - Price per plate

Mark I’m disabled and haven’t traveled in awhile so I live through you. Thank you!

[charliesommers]

Mark is a great ambassador, he adapts to the culture he is visiting and insults no one. As a result he is surrounded by smiling faces where ever he goes . We should all be more like Mark.

[carloscausillas]

I am Peruvian and truly enjoy watching your love for food and the enthusiasm you always have when trying foods. Peruvian food is awesome!

[elizabethpaucar]

Genial que seas de los pocos turistas que te animas a probar la verdadera comida peruana, que es aquella que la encuentras en el mercado tradicional, con esa sazon de casa peruana hecha por la mama o la abuela peruana. Y mas aun que eres de los pocos extranjeros que sabe agregar limon, aji y hierba a nuestros caldos. Que bueno que te haya gustado nuestra comida!!! Sigue disfrutando de lo nuestro y gracias por mostrar este rinconcito de la gastronomía peruana. 🇵🇪 😘

[isabelverastegui]

Son un par de locos, aquí pocas personas se atreven a comer el rocoto de esa manera 🤣

[GoodLifeInSpain]

Peru is AWESOME! The people are super friendly, the sights are unbelievable, and the food...Amazing!

[ede]

PERU is such an amazing country, their gastronomy is very rich, is the country of super-foods: maca, quinoa, kiwicha etc etc. and you can find since the most luxury restaurant to the cheapest one, but everything is Organic, very fresh and healthy. No frozen nor canned foods

[redcrow]

Once again, Thank you Mark Wiens for promoting our peruvian cuisine. I've shown my students your videos, they love them, Oh! Wow! kids!

[alexsgreece]

I LOVE PERU . GREETINGS FROM GREECE BROTHERS.

[versaillesth]

I have a high spice tolerance level but when Mark says 'I can't feel my face right now'...its scary!

[firefull]

I love Mark, because he is authentic and unpredictable.... The peruvian food must be humanity

[ancimargarita]

it is so funny, while you were drinking this healthful breakfast of quinoa and maca drinks, behind you, there was this little restaurant sign that read: "Chicaharronera EL delicioso Colesterol" that can translate as "Fried Pork Skin, the delicious cholesterol" These peruvians have good sense of humor, and I love this Peru trip you are doing!!!

[raelcruz]

When mark says it's spicy.. U better believe that chili is nuclear! Haha.
This is a historic moment coz I think this is the only video where mark got shaken by a chili. Haha.

[MickyBane]

Me dio risa el nombre de la chicharronería del fondo: "El rico colesterol" jajaja

[claudiarosales]

Almost 2 years following you, watching every video that you shared 🙌🏻 and maybe it's the second time I've see you crying like that for the spicy peppers 😁 can't imagine how spicy was the rocoto! Oh Wow!! 🙏🏼

[soley]

Mark, it's the first time that I saw a chili make you cry. I know this feeling too, but it's so good to have a spicy meal.
By the way, great videos in Peru y Brasil, that give me the envy to fly there. Thanks for the great adventures youshare with all of us who like good food.

[kevinramos]
