Stephanie Cayo assures that Pachamanca is a payment to land and causes criticism on social networks

Stephanie Cayo has only found detractors since it was revealed that she was the protagonist of the film “Until we meet again”, the first Netflix production made in Peru. Since the official trailer was released, many claimed not to feel identified with the tape.

However, despite the questions, this Friday, March 18, it was released and the streaming platform released a promotional video where the Peruvian actress appears next to Maxi Iglesias talking about the typical dishes of our country. She was also wrong to talk about Peruvian slang.

“What is Pachamanca?” , Stephanie Cayo consults the Spanish actor, as he spent several weeks in Peru and had to know a little more about his people and customs.

Immediately, the protagonist of the romantic film pointed out that it was a meal, but he also specified that it was a 'ritual' for the earth. “Food, that is, it is the ritual that is done for the food of the earth,” he said.

However, Stephanie Cayo intervened and indicated that Pachamanca was actually a payment to the land that farmers made after having a good harvest. “It is a cult that is done when you have had a good crop, so it is a payment to the land,” he said.

The Spanish actor had no choice but to correct his answer and point out that Pachamanca's correct term is: “A payment to land then is the right way,” he said.

Stephanie Cayo also added to her reply that Pachamanca is a typical food of the mountains in Peru. “It's a little approved, it's alpaca meat, guinea pig meat, hot stones in the ground, it's covered, cooked and it comes out delicious,” he said.

USERS QUESTION STEPHANIE CAYO

The answer that Stephanie Cayo gave about Pachamanca was not liked by many Peruvians, who claimed that the actress was mistaken in her word, since what she wanted to explain about paying the land was Pachamama.

“Pachamanca is not a cult of the land, it is a typical dish of our Peruvian highlands. He is confusing it with Pachamama”, “Pachamanca is different from Pachamama, she is more lost, at least you would have given her one read before”, were some of the comments.

DO USERS CRITICIZE IT WITHOUT REASON? WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF PACHAMANCA?

Although today Pachamanca is known for being a typical dish of the mountains, the truth is that it was born as a ritual of gratitude that the Andean man performed to the land in order to have productive harvests.

In this way they worshipped the Andean divinities. They honored the fertility of the earth by consuming what they had cooked in a hole in the earth. Over time, the dish evolved and today it is part of our ancestral heritage.
