The Peruvian Cuisine. La GastronomÃa del Perú.
AquÃ, gente de todas las razas no duda en llamarse peruana y hace de sus dejos y sazón parte de lo nuestro. La generosidad nos la enseña la tierra poniendo manjares infinitos entre nuestras manos desde hace siglos. Los niños aprenden los colores viendo los ajÃes y las frutas, y nuestras madres en casa hacen de la cocina un laboratorio de sabores y amores. Por todo ello, prefiero no aventurarme a decir por qué nuestro paÃs es tan rico ni dónde se inicia esta inagotable fuente de sabores.
Simplemente me presento. Perú, mucho gusto.
Cocinar bien y entender de buen comer es tal vez la costumbre más extendida entre los peruanos. Comemos de todo y en todas las ocasiones. Cuando nacen nuevos, cuando mueren viejos, cuando los niños se hacen adultos, cuando queremos decir la verdad o alguna que otra mentira, para seducir, convencer o amar. Testigo sin omisión, una mesa bien servida.
Cuando oiga decir a un peruano que la nuestra es la mejor cocina, recuerde siempre que este nada ingenuo atrevimiento nos lo da el pensar que si de sexto sentido se trata, los peruanos tenemos dos veces el del gusto.
Nuestra identidad se forja en la cocina: somos exigentes comensales y, muchos, mágicos cocineros. La democracia la vivimos en nuestras mesas: siempre habrá espacio para un cebiche de lenguado fresco, un pisco sour o un arroz con pato a la chiclayana más.
Nuestra capacidad de integrarnos la expresamos comiendo chifa, nombre propio de la cocina china en el Perú. Interminables y coloridos banquetes que exigen silencio y disciplina bocado tras bocado nos permiten valorar lo que de verdad significa diversidad.
¿GeografÃa? Comer señores, en el Perú, es un viaje en sà mismo. Desde el prodigioso mar peruano del que salen como nadando nuestros cebiches, pasando por los Andes y sus cientos de variedades de papa, hasta la AmazonÃa, cargada del exotismo de una cocina misteriosa y natural, tenemos una sola gran ruta que hace del Perú un único territorio, la ruta que delinean nuestros sabores.
Sucede, pues, que al Perú lo premiaron con tierras y mares de abundancia divina y los peruanos, desde hace siglos, agradecemos este don cocinando, comiendo y creando, como lo hacen los dioses.
Mucho gusto, señores. Este es el Perú y son sus sabores los que lo invitan a conocerlo.

Here, people of all races do not hesitate to call themselves "Peruvians" and make their accents and flavors part of what is ours. The land has taught us generosity by placing endless delicacies in our hands for centuries now. Children learn the colors by seeing all types of chili peppers and fruits, and our mothers at home make the kitchen a laboratory of flavors and love. For of all this, I dare not venture to give one reason why our country is so rich or where this inexhaustible source of flavors starts.
I simply introduce myself. Peru, mucho gusto.
Good cooking and an understanding of a finely spread table is maybe the most widespread habit among Peruvians. We eat all things and for every occasion: when babies are born, when the old die, when children turn into adults, when we want to tell the truth or a little, white lie in order to seduce, convince or love. A well spread table witnesses every occasion without exception.
Whenever hearing from a Peruvian that ours is the best cuisine, always remember that this not one hundred percent naïve bravado;this is due to the belief that, if there is such a thing as a sixth sense, then we, the Peruvians, have received ours to double the sense of taste.
Our identity is shaped in the kitchen. As dinner guests, we are not easily satisfied and a lot of us are magical cooks. Our tables are a shining example of pluralistic democracy; there will always be room for a cebiche of fresh flounder, a Pisco Sour, or rice with duck Chiclayo style.
Our capacity of integrating ourselves is expressed by eating Chifa, the proper name of Chinese cuisine in Peru. Endless and colorful banquets that demand silence and discipline after each and every bite allow us to appreciate what diversity really means.
How about geography? Eating in Peru, ladies and gentlemen, is a journey in itself. Starting from the bountiful Peruvian Sea, ...

Gabriel AlegrÃa Afro-Peruvian Jazz Sextet
Gabriel AlegrÃa
AFRO-PERUVIAN JAZZ SEXTET
http://www.gabrielalegria.com/
Theater Arts Arena, Montgomery College
Rockville, Maryland
Sunday February 11, 2007
"Afro-Peruvian Jazz makes its way around the world. It's the latest and most refreshing sound to hit the Jazz scene. Gabriel Alegria and the Afro-Peruvian Jazz Sextet, complete with cajons, quijadas and zapateo dancing, has placed Afro-Peruvian rhythmic concepts and the legacy of African-influenced music from coastal Peru solidly into mainstream jazz language for the first time. The importance of this has been compared to the Brazilian and Cuban musical influences which changed jazz music in the 20th century"

"El jazz Afro-Peruano hace su ingreso alrededor del mundo. Es el más nuevo y refrescante sonido que llega a la escena del jazz. Gabriel AlegrÃa y el Sexteto de Jazz Afro-Peruano, acompañados con los cajones, quijadas y el baile de zapateo, han colocado sólidamente los conceptos rÃtmicos Afro-Peruanos y la herencia de la música Afro descendiente de la costa de Perú en el lenguaje principal del jazz por primera vez. La importancia de ello se ha comparado a las influencias musicales brasileñas y cubanas que cambiaron música del jazz en el siglo XX"

Scolopendra gigantea, Peruvian giant centipede hifi
Scolopendra gigantea, Peruvian giant centipede is one of the largest species of centipedes in the world. It has reliably obtained 9-10"/22-25cm body length and reputably achieved 12-14"/30-35cm!
As the name implies, this centipede can be found in Peru and in other parts of the Amazon. Heavy restrictions on the invertebrate trade from most/all of the countries of origin of the beautiful species ensure that they remain rare in USA collections... but when you can find one to view they are simply amazing!
This centipede is at least 9"/22cm long in the body. If you count its antenna and long hind legs this centipede can stretch an amazing 14"/36cm!
A fellow local bughead was kind enough to let me play with his gigantea, which is very fortunate for me as i will likely never be able to afford the $300+ (USD2007) that this specimen would go for on the open USA market.
The bite of this species is likely very unpleasant, but in no way deadly to humans. There is not a lot written about centipede envenomations and even less about envenomations by this pracking huge species. I was very tempted to test this venom on myself... but the large unknown factor and the fact i drove myself to the Bugfair where i handled this pede convinced me that discretion is probably the better part of valor... for now!
n.b. there is some confusion in the hobby world about just what exactly to call this species, scientifically. For a while there were VERY large centipedes from South America being sold variously as Scolopendra gigantea, S. robusta, or S. gigantea robusta. Officially the trinomial S. gigantea robusta has been busted (heh, boy its so late for me right now, it is early... can you tell?) by the noted myriapodologist Rowland Shelley. Officially S. robusta are a similar looking, though much smaller (though still largeish in the grand scheme) species from Mexico and S. gigantea are a HUGE centipedes from the Amazon... so i *think* this is S. gigantea, even though it was sold to its current owner as S. robusta.
