Pairing Fritada correctly — a note on canelazo hot cinnamon drink

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Fritada. I ordered it with canelazo hot cinnamon drink and the bright and satisfying elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. aji criollo in particular became more prominent in a good way.

llapingachos potato cakes are a highland staple tied to Andean agricultural tradition. The a traditional home lunch is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Fritada with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
