The richest source of food in all of South America is the middle of the continent, the jungles and fertile areas of Amazonia. In countries like Peru there is still a strong influence from the culture of the Incas and potatoes and symbolically important plants such as quinoa, which is similar to spinach are frequently grown as a result of this.
Off the Southern tip of South America lies the coldest part of the Pacific Ocean, which provides a large array of seafood.
The many plains on the continent are very fertile, and used for growing food in abundance. In the Patagonia region in the south of Chile and Argentina, many people produce lamb and venison. King crab is typically caught at the southern end of the continent and the recently discovered Antarctic krill is now considered a fine dish. Tuna and tropical fish are caught all around the continent, but Easter Island is one place where they are found in abundance. Lobster is also caught in great quantities from Juan Fernandez.
These ingredients from all over the continent make up the basis of cuisine for the whole region, and the greatest influences in preparation have come from the invading Spanish and Portuguese, giving South American cuisine a Latin feel and making eating a big part of the whole celebration of life.
