off the list

For me, Limón Rotisserie has been in a sort of downward spiral. It was already a big disappointment when they changed the dumpling-shaped tacu-tacu to a bowl of fried rice. And now the bastion of Peruvian cuisine doesn't serve chicha morada!

Every basic pollería in Peru serves the purple corn drink of the gods. Even street carts in Peru serve chicha morada! For crying out loud, establishments without cups serve chicha morada in plastic bags!

The chicken is still great at Limón Rotisserie but not serving chicha morada? You might as well spray paint all over Machu Picchu!

I still have some chicha-flavored Tang I picked up in Lima in January... these will have to do for now.

think of this as my patch
