Peruvian cuisine sits at spice 70 in this atlas. Ceviche and Lomo saltado show the range better than a single heat number. Ceviche plus one regional plate — not only the export icon. Lima, Cusco and Arequipa do not cook the same dinner. Regional stubbornness is the cuisine, not a footnote.
The home pantry around Leche de tigre and the labour behind Lomo saltado rarely fit a takeaway box. Are restaurant versions "authentic"? Restaurant Peruvian cuisine is one register. Home pots and market stalls are others. Authenticity is a marketing word; technique is not. Cocina peruana is the local name used in this atlas beside Peruvian cuisine.
Peruvian cuisine is organised around chicha / aji / nixtamal-adjacent corn and potato / corn / rice. Ceviche and Lomo saltado are the plates most diners meet first. Street and home forms differ. The export icon is real; the pantry behind chicha / aji / nixtamal-adjacent corn is what makes it a system.
70 belongs to “Potato and chili” in 1500. Peruvian cuisine is not a sentence about taste until that measure is there.1500
