Welcome, Kevin, I think you're going to like it here.
My husband and I spent some time in Lima and we really enjoyed it and the cuisine. It's a beautiful city and probably the cleanest city that I have seen in Latin America. Their anti littering laws are absolutely Draconian.
We have several Peruvian restaurants in Costa Rica but since the Peruvian food is generally quite spicy, most of them have been dumbed down to cater to the rather bland taste of the Costa Ricans. We are able to buy some Peruvian products, though.
Peru produces wonderful olives and olive oil. I'm able to buy them here and they are great. The olives are called Botija Acertunas and have a unique Tangy flavor. Well worth looking for.
I'm looking forward to your contributions to this forum and I hope that you will include some recipes for some of that great looking food.
