Paraguay

Country - Paraguay

Cuisine Description - The Paraguayan cuisine is rather uniform and representative for all its regions. Still, in the capital of Asuncion, there are many specific restaurants, with various influences, form all over the world. The South American cuisine is spread all over the country (beans, rice, corn and Beef) and the Brazilian influences are felt in the capital. The Brazilian influences are best represented by the complex meat dishes and eggs, the variety of pastries and baked dishes. In Ciudad del Este, which is a border city, the food mainly bases on Beef dishes, such as the stewed Chicken, served with tapioca or noodles. In Encarnacion, the diet is based on various ground nuts, fresh fava beans, served with lettuce and Pork or Beef Ham, corn pudding and tuberose ice cream as a dessert. In this city, the Mexican influence is the predominant one and the dishes are basically spicier and more mixtures can be found. Copyright Recipe Wiki

Mission Statement

Chicago Eats World is a challenge to try and experience the food from every country of the world. I hope that by undertaking the mission people will feel not only full but more tolerant of how and why people prepare and eat the food they consume. The postings will give a brief overview of the cuisine, a video experience of a restaurant or meal cooked by a native of the specific country and take away recipes so you can recreate the meals at your own home. Please enjoy and realize that this is a diverse world that should be understood and appreciated.
