If you have never tasted Peruvian food, Canggio Restaurant in Norwich, Connecticut, is a great place to start. Peruvian food is a delicious mix of the cuisines of the cultures that landed in Peru throughout history: Spanish, African, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, and other. The main ingredients in most dishes are rice or potatoes, chicken, pork, lamb, and fish with one of the different kinds of Peruvian hot pepper. Canggio’s dining room is bright, pleasant, and cozy, perfect for a family meal, and the extensive menu has something for everyone. Try parihuela, an aji panca (Peruvian red pepper) spiced seafood broth with clams, mussels, crawfish, fish, shrimp, and calamari. Wash it down with a glass of Peruvian wine or wine from anywhere in the world from their great selection. They also serve beer, other spirits, and the local drink pisco, if you are feeling adventurous.
