Ova hrana danas je rezervisana za bogate, a nekada su je jeli samo siromašni i zatvorenici
Kada pomislimo na kavijar, jastoga ili puževe, pred očima nam se javljaju elegantni restorani, kristalne čaše i bogataši koji uživaju u svakom zalogaju. Ali da li ste znali da su ove namirnice nekada bile hrana siromašnih, često poslednja opcija kada nije bilo ničega drugog? Tek kreativni kuvari i promene u ukusu hrane učinili su od njih sinonime luksuza. Isto važi i za kinou, danas nazivanu “superhranom”, koja je nekada bila hrana siromašnih u Andima.
