A. Preparation
During my recent trip to Chile with Sausalito’s Mayor, Herb Weiner, which I described in my post a couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to try a number of traditional Chilean dishes. In preparation for our trip I did quite a bit of research about Chilean cuisine and found the following English sites to be of the most assistance (I welcome suggestions about others that I may have overlooked):

In preparation for our trip I did quite a bit of research about Chilean cuisine and found the following English sites to be of the most assistance (I welcome suggestions about others that I may have overlooked):
~ Wikipedia’s Chilean cuisine site
~ The food section of the Chilean government’s This is Chile site
~ Tasting Chile, the site of an American named Margaret Snook who has lived in Chile several years.
~ Eating Chilean, the site of an American named Jim Stuart, a former college professor who moved to Chile when he retired. Jim’s entries have in many cases a historical perspective that I found very helpful
~ FoodyChile, the site of a young American named Colin Bennett whose market tour Herb and I took while in Santiago
Unfortunately my Spanish is not good enough to allow me to make efficient use of Spanish language sites, although I did in particular enjoy visits to the site of the Círculo de Cronistas Gastronómicos de Chile, a Chilean culinary society.
