Globalization of Peruvian Cuisine

After being influenced by the global North for most of it's history, aspects of globalization can still be seen in Peruvian cuisine today. Food trends not only reflect the historical presence of other cultures, but can also reflect the class, social identity and ethnicity. Both traditional and modern groups still influence food as well.

In the early 1930s, food crisis plagued Peru because of the Great Depression and the government implemented Restaurantes Populares, which were restaurants run by the state to provide healthy and nutritious food to the popular classes. The foods that were provided in the restaurants shaped the foods that were possible to be made.

In regions of Peru, modern consumption of certain foods such as guinea pig, or cuy, are viewed differently. In the Central Andes, it is considered a food source in the indigenous diet and ritual (DeFrance). In other areas, guinea pig is seen as a domestic animal.
