A dish that tells its story — Fanesca reviewed

You can taste history in Fanesca if you know what to look for. Ecuador's position on the equator gives it extraordinary biodiversity of ingredients from coast, highlands, and Amazon. The bright and satisfying character reflects those layers — choclo corn doesn't appear by accident; it came from a specific tradition.

The an indigenous market food stall in the Andes setting made sense of it. You understand the food differently when the context is right. Club beer alongside is part of that story. Some food is just fuel. Fanesca, properly made, is something more. This version told the story well.
