Elizabeth, my landlady, is lovely. Sometimes, she makes me lunch. Today, she served a typical Peruvian dish, which is simply boiled corn, egg, and potato. It usually comes with huacatay (a cheese-based sauce) and/or rocoto (a heat-packed red pepper-based sauce).I love its unadorned presentation, familiar flavors, and satisfying textures. This kind of food takes me home to China, to the States, and has a way of rooting me down, making Peru home, too.
