  • sandwich it is the chicharron it's basically the  it's pork that's been cooked in its own fat yeah  

  • yeah so basically they cook the the pork in  a pot and then the fat it releases that's  

  • what they later fry the pork in it's crispy on  the outside and really really juicy and tender  

  • and then it also comes with one of my favorite  additions the camote which is actually the sweet  

  • potato whoops there's so much is falling out for  a small fee you can upgrade it to the double size  

  • yeah for four soles which is like a dollar sorry  it's a dollar so basically a dollar and 50 percent  

  • more meat 50 more meat comes in a gourmet bun so  super excited to try this take that buzz oh man  

  • oh yeah a portrait just to die for guys  it's just so so tender perfect breakfast  

  • sandwich especially if you're craving something  savory and to wash it down i got the classic  

  • chicha morada the purple corn drink the it's  the most refreshing thing you can have in  

  • peru if you're sweating if you're dehydrated if  you need a drink to complement your meal this is  

  • the one i'd recommend the most drink some purple  corn with lemon this one's quite sweet also has  

  • like hints of cinnamon so really nice great  start to the day having a breakfast like this  

  • just absolutely love it okay so for my sandwichgot the podo alabraza which is like a rotisserie  

  • chicken it comes with lettuce comes with tomato  on a nice bun so let's dig in is so good wow

  • really like that one and i should mention  we got three sauces if you have a look down  

  • here this one is like a red pepper then we  have aji which is the yellow yellow spice  

  • and then we have a tartar  sauce so let's put some aji

  • let's spice up our life and our  sandwich spice up our breakfast  

  • so good i love this stuff and how about that  drink how about that drink we nearly forgot  

  • about this yeah so i got the juice  with orange pineapple and strawberry

  • gracias here are the french fries they are  here they are here and we're gonna try you're  

  • gonna try them in the dipping sauces yes let's  start with rocoto okay the the red chili pepper  

  • what's that next what's i like it when it burns  

  • no spice no life that's a yellow rahim okay  we got that with almost every meal here  

  • i've got to say they love their hand in peru it  comes with lots of dishes and then the tartar

  • is so good i'm so happy here and i should mention  this is kind of like breakfast and lunch so if  

  • you're looking for a brunch option here in peru  this is a very good option because it's very  

  • filling it's a lot of food a lot of tasty food  so you're not going to leave anything behind  

  • so yeah really great spot it's called la lucha  sangucheria we try to come here every time we're  

  • in the city and we really love it we love itlove this place well well well that was fantastic  

  • always wonderful always wonderful always good food  yeah and the price was wonderful too so it came to  

  • 48 soles which at current exchange with the us  dollar is exactly 1260. we actually did the math  

  • this time guys let's just throw in approximate  numbers at you um so yeah phenomenal value  

  • we are satisfied definitely uh like kind of  comfortably full definitely not not gut busting  

  • um just a great place to go and uh we kind of went  at the right time when it just opened because it  

  • was really starting to get busy oh yeah get  there early if you can otherwise be prepared  

  • yeah the lunch crowds like we've seen at the other  location in parque kennedy it was really crowded  

  • and sometimes the lines are quite big i mean when  you you're serving up good food at a good price uh  

  • you'll have people lining up for that for sure  so that is it for today's breakfast and we'll see  

  • you soon with another next one all right good  morning good morning everyone it's a new day  

  • new day another day another breakfast yeah quiet  sunday basically very quiet today the ocean smells  

  • like fish there's this funny little smell  wafting in over the neighborhood it's a  

  • bit strange it's a little bit foggy um but we are  taking you out for breakfast and we are heading to  

  • manolo which is one of our favorite  places for churros and hot chocolates yeah  

  • basically if i was wearing yeah if i was  wearing flexible pants that didn't have a  

  • fixed waistline and i was eating at manolos every  day yeah that's the only way that would work out  

  • everything else would get tighter so i mean  you go for some great comfort high calorie  

  • food over there and it's just a classic diner  atmosphere yes something that it's right near  

  • parque kennedy kennedy park and it's a great  location it's a classic place apparently your  

  • mom has memories of going there she used to go  there as a child so now we go there and it's just  

  • a family spot it's a family tradition and  it's probably one of the places we've we've  

  • ate at more than anywhere else over the years  that we've been coming to lima on and off so  

  • it's exciting for us to be going back  and it'll be our first time that we've uh  

  • that we've revisited it on this trip so i'm  super pumped ready to eat i brought my appetite

  • well well well where do we begin time has come  for those amazing los churros the churros right  

  • these are the probably one of my favorite sweet  breakfast items that you can get in lima peru  

  • so basically what we've got here is  thick thick thick thick spanish style  

  • hot chocolate and when i say thick like  i'm not joking guys like look at this  

  • it's not runny at all it's like  kind of like a chocolate sludge  

  • and so what you do is you dunk dunk these in just  like that and you take a tasty bite watch this  

  • oh man i've been had those in a while i'm having  a moment over here everything's so good so this is  

  • thick rich sweet hot chocolate and nothing  absorbs it better than churros which is also  

  • sweet too you can see the granules of sugar such  a epic combination really so what you can do  

  • taking a bite from this side then you can grab it  here and without contaminating it with your saliva  

  • you can take the other part and get  the best best of both sides the best  

  • of both worlds look at that samuel's got  the system i've got a system in place guys

  • a little bit of a potential hazard it's really  really easy to drip it all over the place so  

  • you'll want to take your bite as close to  the hot chocolate as possible okay close

  • but now the available

  • yeah so guys check out this this is filled with  manhart blanco the delectable caramel spread that  

  • you can have on cakes stuffed inside churros and  alfajores goes good feels good at anything so this  

  • is a definitely a bigger churros it's hollowed out  and it's just full of this stuff so let's try it  

  • i was taking the churros to a whole new level  it's so amazing these these were just made  

  • like the manhart blanco is a little bit warm  that's how fresh this is made this is the best  

  • this one's the best and you don't need to  dip it in chocolate because it's got the  

  • it's got the manhard blanco and what juice did  you get oh yeah look at the maracuya which is  

  • it's passion fruit yes yeah so that's one of  the most popular juices you can get in peru  

  • this is fresh squeezed you  can see it frothing at the top  

  • it's nice and tart more tart than it is sweet  but um actually that's it it's a nice contrast  

  • with the pure pure sweetness of the churros  from the hot chocolate so my food also arrived  

  • and i ordered the spanish tortilla as you can  see we kind of went with a spanish theme for  

  • today's breakfast because that's also the type  of food you can find here in peru since it was  

  • a spanish colony you did get spanish food  here and the potato and egg tortilla is one  

  • of those classics morning traffic on a sunday  morning how is that possible i don't know

  • that is good freshly made i like how the eggs  in the middle are still like a little bit soft  

  • a little bit runny that's the way  you like it that's not that way  

  • i don't like dry overcooked eggs this  is really good i actually do and it came  

  • with three pieces of garlic bread oh wonderful  try that i can smell the garlic emanating

  • wow i've become more of a savory  breakfast person over the years  

  • this is very nice my grandma would be very proud  i have ordered papaya juice which is what she has  

  • for breakfast every single day and this was made  with fresh papaya oh my secret to her longevity

  • secret elixir that's nice it's so like smooth  and creamy it's just made like with ice and  

  • papaya and it's just like natural sweetness very  very good but i have my eye on the churros guys  

  • even though i'm saying i'm like  a savory person and all sam  

  • certainly must need help with the half a dozen  plain churros and two stuffed ones am i correct

  • another successful breakfast in the box oh man  i'm sufficiently full oh that was good a bit of  

  • a sugar high i'm gonna go burn this off withnice long walk in miraflores along the coast i  

  • think you're gonna have to go go have tea with  your grandma yeah i'm gonna go see my grandma  

  • and as always we wanted to tell you the price  yeah that meal was 86 solis conversions roughly  

  • like 22 23 us dollars so um yeah this one waslittle pricier but i mean we did get more food and  

  • it's also just a really famous diner and probably  the heart of miraflores it is yeah i i really  

  • enjoyed it and we went for something different  you know like yesterday we showed you more of  

  • a classic peruvian breakfast right this time  around we wanted to show you more of a spanish  

  • inspired breakfast exactly but i mean if we were  going for super classic classic stuff we'd be  

  • having humitas tamales right stuff like that  stuff we've shown you on previous trips that's  

  • actually what you usually have with your with your  grandmother yes that would be my breakfast at home  

  • yeah um so yeah that's it for this part and we'll  see you again shortly with breakfast number three  

  • practice number three good morning good morning  good morning hello everyone it's day three huh  

  • day three we're taking you out for a third  breakfast we were bright and early and this  

  • restaurant opens up at 7am that's nice we're on  our way yeah we're on our way so this one's gonna  

  • be a bit more of a traditional breakfast right yes  so this one is called chicharroneria don lucho and  

  • well as the name suggests they specialize in  chicharron which is pork and yeah it's gonna  

  • be very traditional peruvian food we're actually  planning to order a platter so i'm very excited  

  • for that i hope you brought your appetite yeah  and we have lots of food coming up loads of food  

  • coming up and this was a recommendation  from your aunt so yes it was very cool

  • you hungry

  • well until the food gets here we do have drinks  yeah i'm gonna taste test them both alrighty  

  • so we have the wine over here is the frothy  pineapple known locally as pina so these are all  

  • freshly made juices it's just amazing let's try it  oh man pineapple is so good you don't need to add  

  • any sugar to it it's already so naturally sweet  such a big difference between having a pineapple  

  • freshly made into juice then having to concentrate  just notice notice immediately okay now i'm gonna  

  • try yours mine is papaya and orange that's what  you have every day for breakfast with your grandma  

  • and um i love papaya too so they're both equally  as good they're just completely different flavors  

  • yours is a little smoother and minelittle more sweet and tart look at that  

  • yes

  • all right guys so the food is here amazing platter  this is like their specialty and it includes all  

  • the traditional breakfast items that a peruvian  breakfast constitutes right so we have the  

  • chicharron which is the pork you can see that all  over here i'm gonna serve one slice on the plate  

  • so that underneath you can see all the sweet  potato were you astonished by the the size  

  • yes i was like we probably should have ordered  one thing and that would have been enough i  

  • probably didn't need to order that but i'm  not complaining yeah so then we have the pork  

  • we have the sweet potato which is the kamote  yeah we have what else do we have here okay  

  • well we have the tamal and i always confuse the  two the tamale and the but basically one is made  

  • with corn flour and the other one is made  with corn pulp so it has more of a texture  

  • and then we have something called sangresita  which is blood chicken blood to be precise  

  • so in many cultures they have the blood sausage  with cow's blood this is chicken i'm gonna let sam  

  • try it because i'm feeling a little and we'll  scream it huh and then we have the canchita  

  • which is this little corn here so i shall try  these three items and let's start with the pork

  • the pork is very tender and it has a nice gravy  sweet gravy or yeah it is kind of sweet i like it  

  • um this is the same kind of pork that you get  in your chicharron sandwich which we showed  

  • you in the first breakfast you got your pork your  sweet potato and your onions all in a nice little  

  • bun and these onions are so good because they  have lime juice on them try some sweet potato

  • it's one of my favorite things  to eat sweet potato is so good  

  • this is a very filling meal if you think about it  like that's that's gonna get you through lunch you  

  • could have used at least probably two more people  especially when you factor in the sandwich as well  

  • i know it didn't say four two four three four four  what value though yeah oh and now the taman little

  • oh tamale we were eating tamales every single  day for breakfast when we first got here and then  

  • after a week it was like i need a break from this  and i kind of switched over to a sweet breakfast  

  • of crepes but now that we're at the end of the  trip it's like yeah i'm gonna miss the tamales so  

  • i wanna have a bit more you're ready for savory  again that is good though i am very pleased  

  • shall we show your sandwich and the chicken  blood let's do that let's do it so i'm  

  • gonna try the sandwich yes it's first thingnoticed is look at how generous the portion of  

  • meat that's in there so it's it's a pavel  sandwich meaning it's turkey and i'm really  

  • excited for it looks like it has the same sauce  or glaze as your as your pork try that out

  • oh super tender jerky wow it's juicy too the sauce  that you were describing is exactly what i have  

  • on my sandwich and do you want to add some  of the onion in there yeah that would be a  

  • good idea that would make it even juicier  right yeah and that would also give it  

  • change its flavor profile of it oh man  this is good like it's just a ton of meat  

  • also mentioned i really like the bun as  well it tastes like very freshly made and  

  • that's a great sandwich so  now now it's time for me

  • the blood sausages sorry it's not blood slashes  chicken blood chicken blood fried chicken blood  

  • whoa look at that i'm gonna take a big bite guys  there's no there's no whimping out here for me

  • okay so i don't dislike it actually  i kind of like it believe it or not  

  • it's it's very much in the the organ category of  pork meat i mean if you if you can handle liver  

  • if you can handle having uh intestines things  like that you'll have no problem with this  

  • this is actually not nearly as chewy it's a it's  a softer more tender texture has that after you  

  • know the organi aftertaste but um you know i i  don't mind it at all i'll gladly eat it so it's  

  • great to combat anemia there you go getting my  i don't need i don't need iron pills i can just  

  • take spoonfuls of this well friends we are out  of the restaurant yeah with a to-go bag that was  

  • so much the portion defeated us yeah  i probably could have tried to tackle  

  • it all but the rest of the day would  have been entire right off but yeah  

  • digesting and probably in a food coma but so we're  gonna take it home share it with grandma morning

  • you know this is a city that doesn't have  a lot of street lights you just kind of  

  • get to an intersection it's like okay who goes  first yeah it's a game of chicken yeah and the  

  • pedestrians don't win yeah pedestrians are not  a top priority but anyways price point that was  

  • 94 soles yeah it came to i think 2470 exactly  yes in us dollars so yeah great value i mean 12  

  • dollars per person it was a gigantic breakfast  feast we could have used more helping mouths  

  • not hands helping out and um yeah the juices  were really nice and fresh and natural yeah  

  • and so yeah overall i i loved it i go back and  eat that again yeah really cool spot yeah it's  

  • the kind of breakfast you'd want to have if you uh  if you were really hungry or you had a lot of uh  

  • you had a lot to do that day it  started off with some calories so  

  • indeed so i think we're gonna show you guys one  more breakfast this is not peruvian at all but  

  • tomorrow we're going to take you out for one more  meal a little something sweet we hope you enjoy it  

  • so we will see you then see you for a fourth day  this is a very loud street my goodness toodles

  • views i'm just going to turn around here you  see the fog oh yeah this is another foggy one  

  • basically the the fog if it when it does lift  usually more like around nine or ten sometimes

  • somebody's just rolling a little bit  closer to him yes so it doesn't want  

  • to get that close gotta build the  trust there you go there you go  

  • yeah to be honest they they're very habituated  to eating this because they literally won't stop  

  • chirping until you give it to them so yeahdon't feel that i i can't feel that bad because  

  • i mean they are they're singing for it right there  they're earning it they're earning their breakfast  

  • yeah and you get beautiful views at this  restaurant but today the fog is so thick
