Nice Video Dr. Mark. You managed to put out a LOT of information on a short video. Just to add to the information on the video: The best pork related food is in the highlands like Quito and surroundings and Cuenca; for secos or encebollados Guayaquil is the place; for seafood related and green plantain paradise food, Manabi province is the best. You can usually have all the named foods anywhere in Ecuador but to get the real deal it's best to get the specialized local food 😉
And you should mention encebollado as a top five it’s amazing and you eat it all over Ecuador from Quito to Guayaquil we eat encebollado for breakfast it could be lunch dinner and once in awhile we Ecuadorians eat it after a hungover lol
@@Callefl as an Ecuadorian that visits all the time, this is untrue. Ecuadorian don't have an well developed cuisine unlike other countries. They're food is very simple and boring.
The most delicious thing you can eat in ecuador is the bolon. Its a green banana or platain fried, smashed and added chesse and pork and made it into a big ball. You can eat it with coffee or orange juice. Its the best thing we can eat for breakfast.
This is a story about seco I know: At the beginning of the 20th century petroleum was discovered in Santa Elena, Ecuador. So an English company was hired to extract it, this was the Anglo Company. They established a camp that soon became know as Ancon town (Ancon= ANglo COMpany). People from Santa Elena was hired by the English for doing chores like cooking. A lunch in Ecuador usually includes two dishes: a soup and the main dish or “Segundo” (second dish). English didn’t like the soup because it was hot and Ancon is a hot place (it is located near to the beach with a temperature over 30 degrees Celsius) so they asked for the ”second”. The most common second prepared was the goat meat stewed (goat is an animal that is easily found in Santa Elena). As the English asked for the second, the natives started to call that dish the “second of chivo” and later because of the local pronunciation it became the “SECO” of chivo. I don’t know if this story was true but it sounds logical and credible, doesn’t it?
I’m from ambato Ecuador i grew up in the United States but the food i grew up having definitely very underrated ceviche is my favorite and encebollado yum ! Haven’t met one American who hasn’t fell in love with the food yet ♥️
So cool to see an American get immerse into my country's cuisine.You really did your research, and got to taste some authentic Ecuadorian food that many tourists miss out on when they come here.
If you're coming here, Ecuador, then I'll give you some advices about food you must have to taste. For instance: hornado, mote, tripa mishki, papas con cuero, librillo. Also the most cities have drinkable water so don't worry. But if you're grabbing a bit out, make sure you don't eat at "mercados"( kinna of outside grocery shopping?) Because the don't prepare food in a aseptic way. I'm from there and I've never got a food disease
Ecuadorian here. You mentioned a lot of good dishes and snacks. Definitely my go to option. You missed a couple seasonal foods like “guaguas de pan”, which are a form of pastry decorated to look like a kid and it’s filled with chocolate, fruit marmalade, or dulce de leche. Also there’s “colada morada”, which is a drink made with red berries and such. It’s really good and served with guaguas de pan it’s even better. But my personal favorite dish would be Fanesca hands down. It’s a seasonal soup that contains many different grains in it. It’s coupled with eggs, little bread balls, chili, or fish if you want (I personally don’t). That one is my favorite because it’s a really heavy soup because of it’s consistency and the amount of stuff in it. Definitely my #1 recommendation.
I couldn't believe how good the Chinese food was. The fruit is phenomenal!! Best watermelon and magos I've had in years. Obviously also the things you mentioned.
Love to see you in my country 😭 love our food.. i will say I’m from the coast so our food is a little different than the highlands. A lot of these foods/drinks shown are from the highlands.. I am wondering if you did travel closer to the coast or my province Manabi?
Ecuador y su variedad en gastronomía ,🤗 cada región se caracteriza en el arte culinario , costa,sierra y oriente😘😋 tenemos todo ,realmente nuestro país es un paraíso 🤗7:44
Hey! An Ecuadorian here (from Quito) just to thank you because I happen to be visiting in Cornwall (UK) and was trying to show or explain about our food to my host family and this video is perfect. There are tons of things left out but still a great video. One of my favorite snacks is chochos con tostado and my next favorite is empanada de morocho. If you pass by Cuenca try cascaritas (another way of preparing pork skin) it's delicious!
You shoukd have travel to the ecuadorian coast, you just show us dishes from the serra, there´s a lot of tasty dishes in the ecuadorian coast like encebollado, caldo de salchicha, guatita, arroz marinero, cangrejos (crabs) bolon de verde, bollos, so if you come someday do not forget to visit our beaches and the other ecuadorian big city called Guayaquil, you are going to love the gastronomy.
Blackberry from Ecuador 🇪🇨 taste delicious 🤤 delicious 😋 its totally different than the blackberry from 🇺🇸 usa omg wayyyyyy different !!!!! The ones that are from Ecuador 🇪🇨 are unique.

I have tried all these 5 dishes and let me tell you they are really tasty. I give them 5 stars to each one.
Me parece que el ecuatoriano ha estado tan acostumbrado a comer bien y rico que nunca se dio cuenta. La verdad se come delicioso.
Muy hermoso mi Ecuador
Encebollado is the most popular food in ecuador is so good

The word “seco” came from the American workers that went to a restaurant and the asked for the “second” plate which means the rice with chicken
One look at this guy and I trust his opinion in what to eat.
We are in Ecuador and don't have enough time to try and do everything. We'll be back.
