My Latin American art professor, Rubén, took us to el mercado principal on Monday. We got to walk around and buy souvenirs. We explored the market for about an hour looking at the "arte popular" or arts and crafts. On our way out Ruben stopped us at a food stand. He wanted us to try Levantón Andino, a traditional Andean drink and aphrodisiac. I'm usually down to try anything, but when I got a whiff of the fish parts and bulls' eyes floating in a bucket, two ingredients in the smoothie, I had to pass.
Ingredients in Levantón Andino:
fruit
melon
papaya
pineapple
strawberry
wheat cereal
powdered milk
liquid milk
raw eggs
raw quail eggs
catfish eggs
bulls eyes
chuchuguaza (liquor)
brandy
wine
rum
2 secret liquors
beer
the secret of Maria Luisa
Delicious, right?
