Final result on August 15, 2008 - World-wide internet poll Declared Peruvian Cebiche As The Best Traditional Dish In The World!
PS. Peruvian Cebiche is not like Japanese Sushi - they are two completely different types of cuisine. The fish and the seafood in Cebiche is actually cooked by the acidic properties of the lime juice, regardless if the juice used is Peruvian Lime, Key Lime, Mexican Lime, or Chinese Lime. Eating Peruvian Cebiche is safer and healthier to consume compare to Japanese Sushi because the fish and seafood is not raw. The acidic properties of the lime juice will kill and destroy any bacteria or worms in the dish. There have been numerous reports in the news lately that eating completely raw fish and seafood (Sushi) may not be too healthy.
As for me, as long as it is fresh, clean, and save; I'll still eat Japanese Sushi. But Peruvian Cebiche is better.....YUMMY!!!
I just get all worked up , and I stew around!
