Tacacho


 * This dish is a roasted banana dish mostly served with with bits of pork on it. Tacacho is said to be served in every city, town, and village in the jungle. Tacacho was first made in the amazonian jungles of peru. The name might have come from quechua saying which is “taka-chu” which means ‘what has been smashed.” and since the quechua language has been around since Inca’s time and is still used today there is a lot of evidence that says that Tacacho has been a peruvian delicacy for many many years. This dish is most popular in the jungle cities such as Tarapoto, Iquitos, and Oxapampa. **
