The never-ending promotional hooplah that is Las Siete Maravillas Gastronómicas del Peru has been extended an additional month, from July 25 to August 23, announced the contest’s organizers last week.
That means if you haven’t done so already, you can vote online for your seven favorite Peruvian dishes, from the list of 21 culinary semi-finalists:
- Adobo
- Ají de gallina
- Anticucho
- Arroz Chaufa
- Arroz con pato
- Arroz con pollo
- Cabrito a la Norteña
- Carapulcra
- Causa
- Chicharrón
- Chupe de Camarones
- Cuy chactado
- Juane
- Lomo saltado
- Pachamanca
- Papa a la huancaína
- Papa rellena
- Pollo a la brasa
- Rocoto relleno
- Seviche
- Tacacho con cecina
I’m voting for ají de gallina, causa, chupe de camarones, papa a la huancaína and seviche — just five, since a few of my favorites (locro, tiradito) didn’t make it to the semi-finals. I can see the merits of some of the 21 contenders, but pollo a la brasa? Come on. That’s hardly Peruvian.
Which dishes will you vote for and what do you think of the 21 choices culled from the original list of 130?

I really love this kinds of contests.
There is always something new I learn about.
I’d vote for the one you are voting, too. I really love those.
Carapulcra, pollo a la brasa, arroz chaufa, and pachamanca are also in my favorite list
Still it is so difficult to decide when all of them are so good and tasty
