Home cooking, street stalls and festival tables are the three broad settings where this region's food culture shows up, each with its own vocabulary of names. Any named prepared dish or drink linked to the region counts, from a main course down to a snack or a sweet; raw ingredients, brands and generic cooking techniques do not.

How to approach it

A structured sweep beats free recall here. Divide the region into national kitchens and, for each one, walk the same order: soups and stews, grain-based mains, grilled or fried plates, street snacks, festive breads and pastries, sweets, drinks. Note whatever surfaces in each slot even when the name is only half remembered, since scoring rewards volume and precision far more than elegance. Then run a second pass by technique and cooking vessel, and a third by qualifying word, because many entries are a base preparation narrowed by a region, a sauce or a filling. Keep every candidate as a separate entry instead of merging close relatives; the reveal counts them apart.

Get a hint

Start with the everyday repertoire — slow-cooked stews, rice and corn mains, grilled or fried plates and griddle breads — then widen outward from there.

A little more

Move next to street and celebration level: fried snacks, stuffed pastries, leaf-wrapped parcels, hearty soups and sweets that are sold under their own names in markets.

One step further

At the narrow end sit entries whose names are compound, a base preparation qualified by a locality, a sauce, a specific cut of meat or the cooking vessel involved.

Why these answers count

Points here track rarity inside the recorded set, not correctness. Almost every accepted entry landed at 85, a broad middle band of regional specialities that a well-travelled eater recognises but that hardly anyone types first. Only a single entry in the whole reveal reached 100, Hormigas culonas, a dish built on insects that most players would never think to name. The 491 entries worth 60 are the familiar, heavily repeated plates that nearly everyone offers: accepted, but paid the least. Concreteness is what lifts a guess. A bare, generic name stays cheap, while a qualified variant counts as its own recorded answer and collects the higher band — Aborrajados de pescado rather than the plain fritter, Ajiaco de cuy rather than the everyday stew. That is why the 85 tier is so crowded: it rewards anyone who pushes past the obvious national staples into named local versions and punishes stopping at the first thing that comes to mind. Stacking several qualified variants beats hunting for one perfect rarity.
