There is also Empanada de Pino which is a turnover (pastry) filled with diced meat, onions, olive, raisins and hard-boiled egg. Pastel de Choclo is a typical Chilean summer dish, with ground corn and meat, chopped onions small pieces of chicken, hardboiled egg, olives and raisins. As they are big on their seafood, Mariscal Crudo is a popular seafood dish that is soup with raw seafood.

History and Culture

It was originally aboriginals that founded Chile and they avoided contact with other Europeans, until the Spanish colonized South America. In the early 20th century, Chile saw an economic struggle due to the low production of work in the mines. Now they have recovered from this and are now one of the world’s most developed countries. The Chilean people are very religious and this plays a part in their daily lives; they are very close in family and greet people with a warm welcome.
