Furthermore, my friends in other parts of Peru don’t have access to turkey, for example, so they enjoyed pollo a la brasa (rotisserie chicken) as their main Thanksgiving dish instead. As for other celebrations in Peru, such as Christmas, the traditions can also be connected to their environment. For example, Peruvian Christmas takes place during the wet season, so a nice cup of chocolate caliente (hot chocolate) is something nice and warm to enjoy during the cold, rainy afternoons.
