TL;DR

Now, however, those rules have been removed from Netflix's help pages. According to The Streamable, Netflix says it was all a mistake — for the United States.

"For a brief time yesterday, a help center article containing information that is only applicable to Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru, went live in other countries," a Netflix spokesperson told the publication. "We have since updated it."

probably just testing the water

Hahaha, because password sharing is especially bad in those countries. Talk about walking it back..... Fuckin Peru.

Why was it written in English?

My family in Peru all speaks English and Spanish. We’re also all part Chinese.

Peru is an interesting place.

That said, Netflix be lying.

Have a Peruvian friend. Made me some Peruvian dishes once. Mind was blown to learn about Chinese food mixed with Latin American o_O

Lomo Saltado is fucking bomb.

u/Prying_Pandora Feb 03 '23

Yep! Our food is heavily influenced by Chinese cuisine. We call it “chifa”.

Best food in the world IMO! 😋

Hmm. Saltados aren’t usually served with sauce but if I had to guess, I’d guess it was huancaina sauce. It’s a mild fresh cheese sauce made with a yellow chili pepper called ají amarillo (literally “yellow chili”).

Ají amarillo is wonderful because it has that complex, almost fruity quality of super hot peppers despite being rather mild. So you get all of the flavor of a super hot with but much more manageable.

its probably not huancaina per se cuz thats usually incorporated into specific dishes, but just the standard aji amarillo/limo sauce you get with roast chicken etc, maybe rocoto

u/Prying_Pandora Feb 03 '23

Huancaina sauce is absolutely served as a dipping sauce sometimes! It has a devoted following.

Rocoto is usually more orange and waaaaaay spicier, but also friggin delicious! If it was really hot and more orange than yellow OP, then it was probably rocoto like this poster is saying.

Interesante! Estoy viviendo en Lima (por 3meses hasta ahora), y no encontré huacaina para “dipping”, solo platos como papas huacaina, pero tal vez es porque no estaba buscando específicamente (o falta atencion)

u/Prying_Pandora Feb 04 '23

También lo puedes pedir. Pero es verdad que es más para papá a la huancaina o otros platos.

Either way it’s so good! 😭

Chifa was definitely my favorite food in Peru. Especially when you get outside the main cities it’s often the only option for variety

u/Prying_Pandora Feb 04 '23

You have good taste.

u/mrfjcruisin Feb 04 '23

The Peruvian word for fried rice is essentially the pronunciation for it in Cantonese “chaufa” and “Chao fan”. And it’s definitely the best kind of fried rice

u/Prying_Pandora Feb 04 '23

HECK YEAH IT IS! Come over and I’ll make some!

u/Intrepid_Beginning Feb 04 '23 edited Feb 04 '23

Yup. Same with soy sauce. It’s called sillao instead of salsa de soya because of Chinese influence as well.

u/ItsAll42 Feb 03 '23

I need this in my life immediately

2

u/Prying_Pandora Feb 03 '23

If you lived near me, I’d make you some.

I’ve been selling Avatar: The Last Airbender themed desserts and drinks using the knowledge of Asian cuisines I learned from my Peruvian culture.

It’s been fun!

u/wasabipotaytoh Feb 04 '23

Reading all these comments make me 2nd that. Fuck it all, I want lomo saltado right now!

u/mju9490 Feb 04 '23

You can’t beat chifa, my friend.

u/Intrepid_Beginning Feb 04 '23

All of Chifa is bomb. There are so many amazing dishes. And Nikkei is a related but slightly different cuisine, it’s Peruvian mixed with Japanese. Equally delectable.
