In Lima, the language of food is integral to the city's creole culture.
Such inventive and creative slang, Nico! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
My husband from Lima always calls me causa… now I know I am literally mashed potato!
Great example of causa!
As a Limeña, I loved this! But I must be showing my age because when I read "no seas palta," my first thought was, "Wait... what happened to ¡Me paltée!?" 😂🥑 That's the expression I grew up with!
Gracias! It was fun to dive into this. While some expressions make sense, like chau and chaufa, others are more mysterious, like piña or cau cau 😀
