Fiesta Limena Peruvian Food

As we’ve always said, ceviche is the best remedy for hot weather. Now we have someone backing us up – a writer from the Washington Post! In his article titled “Seviche, Peru’s Overlooked Heat Remedy,” Tim Carman mentions that many people think of dishes like gazpacho, a cold tomato-based soup, as the best dishes to beat the heat. But we know ceviche is even better, and he agrees. (He uses the English spelling of ceviche, with an S.) He also writes, “If anyone understands the call of seviche in scorching weather, it’s the Peruvians, those hardy souls who have built one of Latin America’s more robust economies in a rugged, mountainous, coastal country located just south of the Equator.” We agree! We serve three variations of Peruvian ceviche in CT at Fiesta Limena – shrimp, fish, and mixed seafood. Each has its own appeal, but they will all satisfy your craving for a light, delicious meal during the height of summer. Ceviche is a great choice for people on a diet as well, since it is a low-carb and low-calorie option. Here is one last fun fact about ceviche – the Spanish conquistadors brought over the limes that are used to make Peruvian ceviche, but the dish existed long before they arrived. The original ceviche was created with the juice of native oranges. The combination of international influence and native cooking techniques makes Peruvian food irresistible.
