There are often many foreign tourists who arrive in Peru and after visiting different tourist attractions and trying the famous Peruvian cuisine, they also take a walk through the different food stalls on the go. In this sense, going through the “aunt poison” in Lima has become one of the favorite activities of many visitors, as demonstrated by the following viral video, where a group of Spanish travelers arrives at one of the food stalls on a street in the Peruvian capital, being amazed by the flavor and of course, by the large number of potatoes that their orders bring.
The video uploaded by the influencer @kevinggtv tells that this group of friends came to the area on the recommendation of many Peruvians. This is how they sit in plastic chairs and in the open air in a merchant’s blood cart ―what many call crouching down― they order a hamburger and then a broaster chicken. Seconds before trying, they describe the content and its ingredients, but what most attracts their attention is the large number of cooked potatoes that it presents, and they consider the price to be super cheap.
“Nothing to do with KFC”
When the time came to try, they were simply amazed, the exquisite flavor of the crispy chicken, as well as the sauces, filled the palates of the tourists with joy to the point of praising the lady merchant. “In my life I would have imagined having such a full plate in Spain”, “You are in paradise”, “I’m not leaving here until you share the recipe with me”, were some of the compliments from the diners.
One of the tourists was even encouraged to compare the flavor with that of different international fast food chains, coming to the conclusion that these dishes in Lima were much better in every way. “This has nothing to do with the fast food they sell at KFC or McDonalds,” he said, before hearing another compliment in the clip: “I don’t know how he does it, but it’s still the best broaster chest in all of Peru.” .
Immediately the different opinions of the users who went through the video on TikTok did not wait, most of them reaffirmed what was heard by the clan of European travelers. “Peru is another level, nothing like KFC”, “Kentucky or McDonald’s, nothing happens”, “Great, you eat very well here”.
Who is ‘aunt poison’?
In Peruvian slang, the business ladies who sell food on the go are known as “aunt poison”. Due to the cheap price of their dishes, it is believed that they may not have a guarantee of healthiness; However, it is only ironic because every day there are many Peruvians who choose to consume these products, in fact most prefer one of these dishes because it is good, beautiful and cheap.
How much does the broaster chicken cost in ‘aunt poison’?
Prices vary between 8 soles to 12 soles, depending on the size of the broaster chicken. The cheapest portion is the wing, and the most expensive is the breast. Unlike a regular restaurant, garnishes such as salad and rice, in these curious food stalls, come with the same order and the price does not vary.
Why is ‘aunt poison’ so popular in Peru?
In addition to their low cost and flavor, these street food spaces have the attraction of finding a greater variety of sauces, unlike conventional restaurants. Another of its advantages is that the merchant ladies can increase your portion thanks to the classic “yapa”.
Where was the broaster chicken created?
The broaster chicken has its origin in the United States in the town of Kentucky. It is believed that it was born in 1939 thanks to the recipe of Colonel Sanders, the American businessman who founded the KFC franchise who began selling crispy chicken pieces until he built the commercial empire that the brand means today.
