Although the inclusion of the Chiri Uchu<\/strong> It is not only one of the oldest and most complete Andean Peruvian dishes, it is also a symbol of Cusquenian identity. Its name comes from the Quechua words: Chiri<\/em> meaning \u201ccold\u201d and uchu<\/em>meaning \u2018chili\u2019 which we would understand as \u201ccold spicy\u201d, which gives us the best clue about how it is served: completely cold, but full of flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the arrival of the Spaniards, the dish was adapted and entered into the festive calendar of the Patron Saint Sebastian <\/strong>and the Corpus Christi<\/strong>, integrating new ingredients such as chorizo and cheese. Today, it is consumed exclusively in January <\/strong>and June<\/strong>, during the religious festivities and the Jubilee month of Cusco.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t
