Chilean cooking from Atacama to Patagonia and Chiloรฉ, including Mapuche foodways.
A 5,300 km border, Patagonia, Mapuche communities on both sides, and constant migration.
Mapuche foodways are a root spanning Chile and Argentina; the Chilean kitchen owes them merkรฉn, piรฑones, potato varieties, murta and curanto.
Aymara communities on both sides, and the loss of the Pacific coast in 1879-83 which left Bolivia landlocked.
Ceviche exists in Chile, Ecuador, Mexico and elsewhere with its own forms and claims; no single origin is asserted.
A shared desert coast, 19th-century war and border change, migration, and the pisco dispute.
โ Rapa Nui is Polynesian and administered by Chile; the relationship is political and recent, and its foodways are not Chilean in origin.
