You eat 3 meals each day. There are 365 days in one year, 365 multiplied by 3 is 1095. That means you eat 1095 meals each year. That is a lot. How many of these meals are the same thing you’ve eaten as always? Probably all of them. Don’t you think its time to try eating something new?
This is why you would be interested in what I have to talk about. Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to invite to try the something new and wonderful, something you probably have never eaten in your entire life. I suggest eating some authentic Incan Cuisines.
Now, you’re probably wondering why I am doing this? Well, I was once like you. I never tried anything new and stuck to the same old regimen of food I ate day in and day out. But once I smelled the rich cuisines of the Incas, I broke down and had to taste this! Isn’t your mouth already watering just at the thought of it? From that moment on, I began to research about all of the Incan food. It is so amazing to see such a rich culture in this food.
The Incas were one of the last great civilizations to live in South America. The Inca Empire stretched from Ecuador to Chile or about 2,500-3,000 miles. The civilization started in about 1200 A.D. and ended in about 1530 A.D. when the Spaniards arrived. Francisco Pizzarro invaded the Incas in 1531. He only had two hundred soldiers, barely enough to walk the dog. However, he convinced the ruler of the Incas, Atahualpa, to come to a conference at the city of Cajamarca. When Atahualpa arrived, Pizzarro kidnapped him and killed several hundred of his family and followers. Atahualpa tried to ransom himself, but Pizzarro tried to use him as a puppet ruler. When that failed, Pizzarro simply executed him in 1533. Over the next thirty years the Spanish struggled against various insurrections, but, with the help of native allies, they finally gained control of the Inca Empire in the 1560’s.

The Incan people developed over a hundred varieties of the potato as early as 2500 BS. They invented a method of freeze-drying to preserve potatoes. The Incas were sun worshippers; their food contained a yellow color to them. An herb, palillo, is made into a yellow power that colors food a pure and lovely shade. Since it does not have much taste, it seems to be used more for appearance than for flavor. The Incas were also the first to bring corn from Mexico.
The food of the Incans was very unique. Their good agricultural improvements made them create unique vegetable and fruits to work with and gave rise to many new dishes and delight to please the mouth. This right here is called: potato cakes. It is a mixture of potatoes, onions, and cheese. It took me a very long time to make and I failed at cooking, but try it.

When I started this investigation, I didn’t know much about Incan culture, mainly their food. I knew that potatoes originated in the Americas, but I did not know that the Incans used so much in their cooking and that they developed so many different types of potatoes. In that aspect I was really amazed.
