The author's father grew up poor in Chile and reminisces fondly about traditional Chilean "peasant foods" like Porotos Granados con Mazamorra, a bean stew. Though simple, these dishes have rich, complex flavors from ingredients like caramelized onions and fresh corn. Another favorite is Pastel de Choclo, similar to shepherd's pie with layers of meat, vegetables, and sweet corn mashed with basil and sugar. While made with few ingredients, Chilean peasant foods generate indulgent flavors that celebrate rather than define poverty. For the author's father, peasant food from his homeland makes him feel rich regardless of its simplicity.
