Chilean Food is AMAZING | Trying food in Chile

Chilean food was something completely new to us. But since we tried some of the food in Chile, it’s quickly become one of our favorite cuisines. Chilean foods we tried include completos, empanadas, pastel de choclo, pastel de jaiba and humitas. Our Chilean food tour started in Santiago and continued in the town of Pomaire.

And, of course, a special thanks to Jorge and Katlyn for showing us all this delicious Chilean food! If you want to see more of them you can find them on Instagram:

11:15 Ofer’s Favorite Chilean Food

This is the 10-kilo empanada 10 kilos 22 pounds so today we’re heading out to see a piece  of Chile that we’ve never seen before   the food I’ve never seen Chilean food outside of  chile so we’re gonna go see what all that’s about  

To take you guys along with us and hopefully  we eat some really delicious things so when   we told our friends that we were doing like a  self-guided food tour they told us we had to get  

A completo and we had to come here to domino to  do it and even when our uber driver dropped us off   you saw that we were coming here and he was like  like so I’m excited we got two different completos  

We got a very traditional kind and then we got  the house completo and wait till you see this   okay so completo is basically a hot dog it really  is basically a hot dog however it has avocados   tomatoes and I think the key ingredient if  I’m understanding this correctly is about  

Half a gallon of mayo on top so it is the most  loaded hot dog you’re probably ever going to see you know what i thought that was going to  taste just like a mouthful of mayonnaise   it doesn’t though it mostly just tastes like  the the tomato the hot dog and the avocado  

The mayo just smooths it all out wow if  you’re on a diet just close your eyes   so for those who have been  following along I’ve grown   a lockdown beard so I’m trying to try to get  out of the way of this uh of this here completo

Oh wow that’s really good I mean it’s a hot dog  though that’s a good hot dog delicious I mean   kind of makes me want to be like at a sporting  event because that’s what I associate hot   dogs with so other than us not watching the  hockey game right now everything is perfect

So we don’t speak very good Spanish  we ordered our two completos   but he also recommended this dish he said it’s  like french fries and empanadas for two it’s   literally a bucket full of french fries and  empanadas with a tub of cheese you can’t hate  

It can you i mean I know this is going to be good  there’s no way that cheese fries not looking good perfection and the empanadas  these are fried empanadas which you know are not the healthiest version of  an empanada but probably the best let’s be real  

Here filled with cheese she’s on the inside of  these and she’s on the outside of the fries it   feels like the place that you go like after a lot  of drinks or something or maybe after like a lot  

Of hiking there’s a lot of hiking to do around  Santiago a game of football soccer. muy rico! that was a heavy meal that is not a meal you want  to eat before you’re about to go do something and  

I have a pretty long list of foods that  we’re supposed to try while we’re here   the fry bucket is still mostly  intact but the completos are   completely eaten all right  listen on to the next thing so we’ve been in Santiago for a while  but obviously everything’s been closed  

Due to “” and now we’ve finally gotten a chance  to go outside of Santiago and taste some really   good food in a cute little town about an hour  away we’re just waiting for our ride right now we’re just entering the town of Pomaire  where we’re gonna get some really good  

Food but just to mention that  this is like a cute artisanal town   that specializes in pottery that’s why  this entire sign is made out of clay we are on the side of the highway now  but that’ll that’ll that’ll change i guess during tourist season this is like full.

Wow it’s like a ghost town so we made it to Pomaire where we’re going to  explore some of the food outside of Santiago.   a few of these we’ve had before and a few of them  we’ve never had and they come highly recommended  

We’re here with Katlyn and Jorge. They’re going  to walk us through this culinary feast and the   best part is they just brought the bread and  it is warm inside. everywhere you look around   here you can smell the fire burning and meat and  bread and pottery cooking on it it is so damn good

Jorge is Chilean he was born and  raised in Santiago, right? la Florida! so I should have prepared for this because i  don’t know what anything is called these are   traditional pan amasado. Pan amasado thank you and this is Pebre. Pebre. an important component of every  traditional Chilean meal, right? yes.  

So Pebre is tomato, onion, garlic, cilantro,  everything cut really tiny some olive oil maybe   some wine or vinegar and everything you  mix everything together and then you have   this Pebre. And the best way to eat Pan Amasado  is warm. yeah. some butter you have some butter  

A little bit of Pebre and that’s perfect.  you can expect Pebre and Pan everywhere   like in every restaurant. Restaurant San Pedro.  they just brought these cups that we ordered   Chilean wine which is a big deal here. we got  vino de la casa. I think that’s better yeah  

Yeah it’s from this area that’s why the cups  are like this yeah because they’re from Pomaire. I petitioned to get the 10-kilo empanada that they  have outside of this store. It takes one hour to   make and for people also from the US that’s like  22 pounds. instead, we got the more reasonable  

1-kilo empanada, 2 pounds… 2.2 pounds and  we got both varieties of it so two kilos wow put that next to your head it’s  gonna be so hot it’s gonna burn my face oh my god it’s like an English pie

On a cold day that is exactly what you want  in your belly so this is Pino which is like   a really common filling here. it involves ground  beef, egg, and chicken and onion, olives… yeah. Katlyn.   Yes it’s me. What is Pastel de Choclo? It  is, i think it’s like a cornbread with a  

Lot of stuff inside: onion, meat,  chicken, a piece of boiled eggs,   olives, and maybe some pasas (raisins) and there’s  sugar on top. yeah yeah there’s actual that’s   that’s interesting yeah that sounds  delicious. yeah. stick a fork in it.  

You stick a fork in it! it’s very deep so it’s  like kind of layered, at the bottom is the meat. It tastes a lot like creamed corn  it’s really good. really good.   that egg as well? It’s getting  cold too. it’s getting cold?   Is it Pastel de… how do you say crab? Jaiba.

This is Pastel de Jaiba and it’s uh like a  crab cake. It translates to crab cake. It’s not   really like indigenous to this like exact town.  this is obviously more of a coastal dish, but I  

Love crab cake and I saw it on a video and  I have to take this opportunity to have it.   I think it’s cheesy too though. it looks  cheesy. it does have cheese wow that’s cheesy. Cheesy Crab Cake. It’s like a giant crab cake  like the biggest crab cake I’ve ever eaten in  

My life. cheesiest crabbiest crab cake. With  cheese on top. that’s amazing good job Chile.   crab cake. crab cake time! I know this is  after my own heart it just has everything yes it’s like molten lava but good, right? where’d they  find so much crab? I don’t know.  

That’s delicious. this humitas. so this  basically like a corn paste inside is just corn   and here you have (Ensalada de) Chilena  this is like a really typical salad here.   tomato, onions, and some cilantro. yes.  and you can also add some sugar here.  

Yeah I noticed the Chileans put sugar  on everything. yeah this with sugar is   so good. you should try it like that. what’s  the difference between humitas and tamales? I’ve never had tamales but- oh you didn’t have them in Mexico.  I think the difference is that  

Humitas are… it’s just corn.  There’s nothing else in there   and then they put the sugar on it and  eat it with Chilena. but that’s it. I think also having it with the tomato and onions  is definitely very different than having a tamale.  

That’s delicious. I love it. All right, your  favorite?! my favorite right now, off the top   of my head I would have to say the crab cake. I  know that’s like it’s so good this is really good.   the choclo is right behind it. the sweetness  of the corn is just amazing and everything  

Is cooked so well but I want to have more of  this steak as well before my final judgment. it’s all delicious. let’s  get all of it again. yeah. air tight. it’s like waterproof thankfully. I’ll  go for the corner and I want to go from the side

Go right in the middle yeah turn  around like this yeah this is
