Chilean Anticuchos or Skewers has always been one of my favorite foods. My grandfather made them for parties or family gatherings, and when I visit Chile, I have to have them. We made them here to celebrate the 18th with the Chilean ex-pats in Houston.
My husband, the grilling resident, prepared this recipe I just supervised 😉

Anticuchos are Peruvian. This is a fact. Nothing Chilean about them. It’s like saying Chilean pizza or Chilean taco. Stop taking other countries food and claiming it as your own. You must have some decent of your own?

Stop putting a wedge, between Peru and Chile over a delicious dish. I am a Chilean and had enjoyed Anticuchos over Chicha , and told jokes with my Peruvian brothers for hours, sharing until almost the next day.
