ChilliCuisine: South America
Flavor Principles
Chile peppers in and of themselves could be pronounced a/the flavor principle of South American cooking. When it comes to special, typical flavors, however, South America seems not very well represented...
By and large the best known example seems to be the combination of chile peppers with citrus fruit juices as found in ceviche.
