YUM! La Feria is my favorite treat ever. La Feria specializes in bringing Peruvian culture to Pittsburgh. Hot Damn, we are a lucky city! Look at all the ethnic places we have available to us: Vietnamese, Japanese, Indian (Northern and Southern), Korean, Ethiopian, Argentinean, Mediterranean, German, French, Caribbean, Belgian, British, Filipino, and I’m happy to include on the list, Peruvian. One thing missing is a strong Cuban restaurant in the area, but fortunately for us La Feria can fill a little bit of that niche with its shredded beef dishes and plantain influences. It is so much more though. La Feria has a titillating ingredient list featuring pumpkin, sweet potato, corn, sour cream, beans, raisins, olives, cilantro, Peruvian peppers, fried banana, quinoa, and hominy. These things go into stews, soufflés, and casseroles, which are described as zesty, spicy, and sweet. Seriously, you’ll need to wipe your chin after reading this menu. But it isn’t just a trick of the adjective – this stuff is darn tootin’ delicious! (more…)
