Some of the richest products of
South American cuisine come from the middle of the continent, the
Amazon basin. In countries like
Peru, there is a strong influence of the
Inca and their
cuisine.
Potatoes are frequently grown as a result of this, and also plants such as
quinoa. On the western coast of South America lies the
Pacific Ocean, which provides a large array of
seafood. Many plains are also on this continent, which are rich for growing food in abundance. In the
Patagonia region south of
Argentina, many people produce
lamb and
venison.
King crab is typically caught at the southern end of the continent.
Antarctic krill has just recently been discovered and is now considered a fine dish.
Tuna and tropical fish are caught all around the continent, but
Easter Island is one place where they are found in abundance.
Lobster is also caught in great quantities from
Juan Fernández. In
Brazil, their most traditional dish is the
feijoada.
