This is an absolute must try while in Ecuador! Sold street side in most towns in the highlands, especially in Quito…this is a toasted Ecuadorian version of corn on the cob, toasted over a grill until soft, then rolled in butter or garlic sauce and then sprinkled with Parmesan cheese…a local fav…!

Ecuador Food Series, Part 4: Local Chocolate

I know this piece of cake looks similar to what you are familiar with in the States, but it’s not…it’s far more moist, almost damp with special chocolate sauces…locals in Ecuador really know how to make cakes, pies and other sweets. (Nothing worse than a dry cake.)

A French chef once told me in the US, “Americans love cheese.” I agree, 100%. We eat cheese on everything.

Well, in Ecuador, you will NOT be disappointed! The local cheeses are exquisite. Starting with this must try when in the Andes Mountains…called Queso de Hoja.

This cheese is made in leaves of plants and eaten right out of the leaf! Delicious! Amazing! Reason enough to move to Ecuador …stay tuned in the upcoming days for more must try local foods.
