Please forgive me. I’m always late to the party. So when I first heard the words “Japanese-Peruvian” uttered in the context of fusion food, the sceptic in me bristled. “Fusion?” I complained. “Very few ‘fusion foods’ are actually any good. I bet it’s s***.”
Well, smack me across the face with a tortilla (as per the TikTok challenge), because Japanese-Peruvian food is actually bloody amazing. It’s also been around for the better part of the last decade, so I am about 12 years late to the party, a new record for me. But better late than never, right?
