    Nice video and good food. It was cool to see the street named "Remigio Crespo" that's my great grandfather. He has a statue in Cuenca-there is a description on wikipedia. Empanadas are the best. There are great with white cheese and then sugar on top. Sounds weird but are insane delicious!

  • @HunterMann
    @HunterMann 11 років тому

    Thanks for a nice video. I like seeing people explore the local and imported foods in a city. I recall my final night in Spain, going with locals to experience a truly typical local evening: we started with Itallan espresso, then had Japanese sushi, then went to see a French film, then ate Italian gelato, then went to see Argentine tango show, then had another gelato. Una noche tipica! To have tapas, sangria and a flamenco show would be fine but that's what the tourists do every time.
    cheers!

    • @donnawoodford6641

    Is not a rat , is a guinea pig . The difference is huge .
    Besides , nobody eats rats in Ecuador , because we have a lot of food .
    This is Cuenca , the number ONE city of the world in its class , not a poor
    city of Africa or Middle East .

  • @TheRichestCadaver
    @TheRichestCadaver 12 років тому

    this video is very informative and would serve me well in locating great eats if I ever decide travel to that wonderful part of Ecuador. I am really considering traveling there soon due to my interest in maybe future residency. Do you folks still live there? if so make some more videos of other stuff like nature, nightlife, dos and donts.

    Lots of great foods for vegetarians in latin America, but I think you have to be a little flexible when it comes to the lard or dairy that gets into some foods. I raw-food vegan will probably have to just shop in the mercado and eat in their hotel room in many cities.

    My wife is originally from Cuenca. Nobody on the planet makes empanadas as good as she does. She makes them with feta cheese and spring onions. The pastry is not oily but slightly crisp on the outside. When I was in Cuenca the empanadas were not as good as hers. They are more greasy and empty inside.

      @jasonafable1428 10 років тому +2

      lol, yeah! But you have to realize they are washed at start of the day and all day her hands just are serving food. So its not that big a deal. I used to work at a few restaurants like Chilli;s and trust me you dont wanna know what goes back there lol. Once some steaks fell on the floor but since it was busy the manager just picked it off and put it back and said "Go!".
