People didn’t mention ceviche. That’s also big in Peru.
I think most people say Peru and Mexico. But obviously lots of countries have good stuff. Chilean is sort of boring (sorry Chile), as is Belize. Argentina and Uruguay are heavily Italian influenced.
Ecuador has some interesting stuff.
I got a chuckle out of your use of interesting. My husband is from Ecuador and generally I dislike most of the foods he loves. 🫣
We just got back from Ecuador and some of the things I liked best were:
Ceviche
Potato soup with chunks of a soft salty cheese and avocado
Empanadas
Paiche (an Amazonian fish)
The pacific fish including tuna and sea bass, often with delicious sauces
The local chocolate and stuff like chocolate mousse or ganache
I would not ever eat cuy so didn’t try it.
