Try The World: A Taste Of CHILE
“I think in a couple of years, you’re going to see a lot of small, interesting, independent restaurants in Chile. Not with tablecloths, a more relaxed style. ‘Bistronomy’ There’s a lot of excitement. We want to do something with our gastronomy.” Chef Carolina Bazán of Ambrosia

Try The World: A Taste Of CHILE
Chile spans much of the Western coast of South America and boasts incredible geographic diversity, including endless beaches and mountain ranges, glaciers, and desserts. Chile’s cuisine is just as diverse as its geography. Thanks to its 2,000 miles of coastline, seafood features prominently in many dishes, as do local vegetables and meats… Nearly 90% of Chile’s population live in cities – such as the capital Santiago and its charming seaside neighbor Valparaíso – but local traditions and flavors are deeply connected to the country’s natural surroundings. Chile is one of top ten largest producers of wine in the world, and almost 50% of frozen berries consumed in the US are grown here. Chile – Try The World

Chilean cuisine stems mainly from the combination of traditional Spanish cuisine, Chilean Indigenous Mapuche culture and local ingredients, with later important influences from other European cuisines, particularly from Germany, Italy and France. The food tradition and recipes in Chile are notable for the variety of flavours and ingredients, with the country’s diverse geography and climate hosting a wide range of agricultural produce, fruits and vegetables.

Try The World: A Taste Of CHILE
Chilean cuisine is a reflection of the country’s topographical variety, featuring an assortment of seafood, beef, fruits, and vegetables. Traditional recipes include asado, cazuela, empanadas, humitas, pastel de choclo, pastel de papas, curanto and sopaipillas.[172] Crudos is an example of the mixture of culinary contributions from the various ethnic influences in Chile. The raw minced llama, heavy use of shellfish and rice bread were taken from native Quechua Andean cuisine, (although now beef brought to Chile by Europeans is also used in place of the llama meat), lemon and onions were brought by the Spanish colonists, and the use of mayonnaise and yogurt was introduced by German immigrants, as was beer.

The more I read about these Try the World boxes, the more I would love to try them. They really do include such a great variety of foods from the area and culture that each of them spotlights and they look delicious as well.
after reading this article, i am now more interested about Chile!!
Everything looks pretty cool! I need to try out this box. I always love getting unique things.
Wow! These products look so interesting! I have never been to, or thought about going to Chile. Maybe I should look into it!
Oh my goodness, this is the kind of box I would love to receive! I LOVE anything with flavour 🙂
Ok – what struck me is that I really love that there is also a history of each item! That makes the meal much more meaningful! And memorable.
Now this is a subscription box I would actually enjoy. I love trying new foods and traveling and this basically couples my two passions.
Wow. I’m going to have to try these boxes. I’ve seen alot of talk on social media about boxes similar to this one.
I love subscription boxes. This looks really awesome, a lot of good stuff in there to try out!
Ooh! I haven’t tried Chilean food yet, but these flavors sound amazing! I’d love to visit Chile someday and check out their restaurant scene.
I would love to go to South America to try the foods of the various cultures. It looks like amazing flavor that Id love to cook and eat. I love food and trying new things.
It’s awesome that Try the World is shining a light on the cuisine of Chile. While a lot of people focus on the foods of other South American nations, I have never really seen anyone bring up Chile as a hot bed of flavor like this box does.
Spices can really change the flavor of our foods which is crazy to think about. I would be open to trying some of these out though.
I didn’t know this brand nor this box concept. I don’t do much monthly boxes coz I always end up disappointed. With beauty boxes I mean but food? Don’t know, maybe it’s worth a try. Morther’s day is on the 28th of May in France so I still have some time although it is coming really quick. Don’t know if my mum would like Chilean food but I could defo try! That could be something new, she wouldn’t expect it! xx corinne
When I was younger, our nearby supermarket used to import all sorts of Chilean goodies. They were my absolute favorite – your post and photos took me back to those better time. Wish I could try them again. <3
I can’t say that I’ve ever had Chilean cuisine before. I love trying new foods though and all of these products look delicious. I use sea salt in so many recipes as well as for DIY bath soaks.
Empanadas are one of my favourite spanish dishes – I’ve had authentic Colombian ones and wonder if they differ any from Chilean ones?
What a unique subscription box. I love trying different culture foods but usually at a restaurant and not making it myself. This would be a unique way to change that up.
Great selection! I wonder if the Pastillas tastes similar to the pastillas in the Philippines. 🙂
Yum yum yum!!! I love spices from around the world, we often bring little meal accents home when we travel and then cook with them when we want to relive our adventures. I had no idea you could have them sent to your home! How fun is this?
I love this post. My Abuelita was born in Chile, but I have never been there. She passed a little over a year ago so this reminder of her childhood home was sweet and nice.
This sounds very interesting! May have to try it, am going to check it out further! Thanks!
Excellent review post. I’m not a fan of going out of my typically food range, but I do know some that love this type of food.
Good and please share t with them. 🙂
I think I like the Chile one more than the one I got. I think mine was Italy. It’s super neat either way!
They do vary and are changed frequently. I love this one too.
Looks like a great box! I like venturing out new food and this is right up my alley. This subscription box is calling me.
Get some Sharon!
Chile looks like it has some pretty good food. I would love to try some of these foods in your box. I think I would like most of it.
It is nice that you can choose the length of your subscription. I agree this would be a good gift idea for mom.
Tell the kids to treat you to a box, Rosie!
This is a great idea for people that love to cook. Just in time for Mother’s Day.
Yes and a perfect gift too.
What a great way to try different foods from around the world! I’ve never been to Chile but the products look so interesting and a great way to get to know about that culture.
I’m so grateful we live in a time where we can try foods of the world without having to physically go everywhere. I want to try those tika artesan chips the most!
They are delicious with a capital D
I love chili! This is so cool. I would love to get my hands on some of these!
Spicy rules and there is no doubt about it. People must try this.
Wow, I really love and enjoy to know more about others’culture! The food is a great way to discover traditions of a foreign country!
These look so tasty!! I don’t think I’ve ever tried any Chilean food but am definitely intrigued because I love spices! x
Looks like all wonderful products! What a great mothers day gift idea for those that have moms that are foodies, or love the Chile cuisine!
I love this subscription box company. It is a unique way of experiencing different flavors all over the world. A definite must have for any adventurous foodie!
Exactly. I love their selections. 🙂
this is so cool! I have never heard of these boxes but it sounds very interesting. I don’t think I have ever tried food from Chile either. I will keep these boxes in mind for the future
I really like how simplistic the packaging looks. It’s appealing but also the way you talk about it. I draws me in on wanting to try it!
This looks like so much fun. It’s always interesting to see how other countries create snacks or to try unique flavors.
I’ve always been curious about these subscription boxes that allow you to taste selections from around the world. I especially love when they include spices or sauces I can incorporate into my own cooking.
I love this box. I’ve always found it to be one of the best. I’ve never gotten a chile box though, how cool! It all looks awesome!
Try it sometime. They are packed with goodness.
I am not too familiar with Chilean food, so I wouldn’t know what a taste of Chile would taste like. But this Try the World subscription box is very intriguing. I would be interested to try it out.
I think you’d enjoy it. Adding a few recipes soon.
So each box is curated by a different person? I love cooking and entertaining and trying different foods from around the world.
You make the Chilean cuisine sound so amazing. I can imagine that with the diverse produce plus the plethora of seafood they must have off the coast that it would be amazing. I am going to have to find some place near me that serves some.
I would love to try this box out. It seems so much fun how you can taste different kinds of cuisine from all over the world. I definitely have to give this a try!
I love trying new projects like this! I would love to check out the sea salt!
Often these subscription food boxes don’t seem worth the price, but for less than $40 this one seems it’s very worth it. I love being able to try things from different cultures!
What a fun box! I know my family would enjoy the contents of this box. Thanks for sharing!
All of these spices look really cool! I need to look up some dishes from chile and try something. I love trying new foods.
I’m reading so much about subscription box and never thought of having one! This collection sounds interesting!
Oh my goodness this looks like it’d make for a perfect gift idea!!! I love this – never heard of it, but I definitely have to check it out!
Mhmmm. I don’t know. It doesn’t look appealing. I might have to skipped this one. The Chilean cuisine just doesn’t do it for me.
What exotic products you review. This is a great way to get a “taste” of Chile without ever going to Chile.
You really sold me on this box! I want to try it too.
Everything sounds amazing! I’m not really familiar with what Chile is known for in terms of food and ingredients but I assume they know their way around spices and lovely flavors!
Try the world box are quite unique and cool – one do not even need to travel to Chile to feel the taste of their food.
What an interesting looking box and some cool items, I don’t think I’ve ever had things form Chile, or if I have I haven’t realised x
I’m myself from Argentina (neighbor to Chile) and I love The Chilean cuisine, it is renown as great producer of fruits and seafood.
What a great way to explore other cultures without having to leave home. Had no idea this existed. Thanks for the info.
Wow sounds like a good monthly subscription box with a few delicious products. I am going to look into it.
It’s a spicy kitchen for mom! I so love to try them all, they’re all interesting!
I would love to try the taste of Chile. Looking into the ingredients I will need.
Happy Mother’s Day! All of these products sounds interesting and I want to try all of them.
I would love to go to Chile and try the local food. Looks amazing
Oh my, would love to have some of this too. Love to have a taste of CHILE too!~
What a stunning box! I’m sure there were many happy mothers if this was the gift they received for Mother’s Day.
I fell lin love with the international food subscription boxes awhile ago. This one looks fantastic! I love the story behind the curation and not to mention, they make the most wonderful and unique gifts! Thanks for the discount code! 🙂
I have never tried Chilean cuisine before but I love that it has so many spices and has geographical diversity which is reflected in its food. What a great selection of authentic ingredients x
I love this idea! This is such a great way to get connected with the wonderful flavors of Chile.
I tried the Chile box and loved it. I’m hoping to see if I can try another before hitting the road.
Please do. Try the Mexico box too.
I would love a chile box! We often try to buy things that have chile in them as they are so delicious. Especially chile chocolate. Yum!
I love, love, love the chance to try foods from other cultures! I think this is such a cool idea that I would love to try share and experience with my kids 🙂
What a great idea!! My husband is a huge fan of spicy food so he would love to try the spicy food and I would be more than happy to try the sweet!!
I have several hot heads in my family. My husband and son love anything with a spicy kick to it. I will definitely have to check this out for them!
Wow, sign me up for this! What a great gift idea for Mother’s day! The Chile box has spice, foods, guides… I want one! : ) Everything looks so good and fun! What a great idea!
These look like fantastic products. I would love to try the CHILE Box. It is a great gift idea as well
I really love subscription boxes. They make a great gift fot the person who has everything. Thank you for sharing.
Nicely written blog.. I have never tasted Chilian food. really a positive motivation for making my mother happy with chilian food. I have to check whether it is available in India or not.
i got a know a lot of new things from this post. i never heard of the recipes mentioned. Happy Mother’s Day.!
My babe likes chilies a lot. I do enjoy the taste as well, but sometimes is just too hot. I’m really curious about Te gusta.
I have never tried Chilean food before. Probably because i have never been to South America and I have never come across a Chilean restaurant in Europe. Maybe I can cook something 🙂
I love trying food from around the world. Never had any food from Chile but I’m sure it is delicious!!
wonderful how you talked about Chile in just a few images and then the little writeup also does some justice to tell more of such a wonderful place / country it is. awesome read.
I have never heard this company but I love this idea. I am going to look into Try the world right now. Super excited.
Wow! I don;t have a lot of experience when it comes to Chilean food but from what I’ve read in your post it seems very diverse. It is a combination of many other influences and also European influences which must make it a very interesting and exciting cuisine.
I’ve never tried Chilean food but it definitely sounds yummy. The boxes are a great idea.
I love Chilean food. Anything with a bit of flavour is a winner. This collection looks great, I will have to pick some up!
What a fun and interesting subscription box! I love food and learning more about what other countries eat so I am definitely going to check this out!
I love trying out new dishes. They so tell you about a place. I wish to taste a South American dish someday. I hope there are good vegan dishes too. 🙂
We love chile in our home! We’re from New Mexico so chile is common in our food! I haven’t heard of some of these brands but they are definitely something I would love to check out and try! Love the extra savings with the coupons! Can’t wait to use them!
Ha! one of my best friends is Chilean and so I have tried many different foods and spices from there… I’ll have to try a couple you’ve mention here : )
i think this is awesome gifts for mother’s day, but i guess the day is gone so we might save it for next year!
It such a great post. I would love to try this cuisine.
Wow, didn’t know Chile has something to offer as well when it comes to spices. I surely would love to try them when I cook. I usually experiments with spices and discover new flavors every now and then. This is such an informative post.
This looks delicious! Thank you for the in-depth review, including the cost of it all!
I love trying food from different places! This post has made me very hungry! Haha
I have never tried Chilean food before, but I am always looking to try food from far and wide.
I would happily tuck into any one of these jars of yumminess! I do love trying food from around the world!
Excellent review post. I love trying new food. I would love to try this subscription box.
I love all these boxes from different countries! Being Filipino, I was born loving food. It is an event to me that can last hours. The best thing is to share a meal with loved ones and chat!
I have been to Chile at the beginning of this year and brought some food back with me. My entire family fell in love with the Merken but unfortunately it is impossible to find in my country. I’d love to have a subscription service like this one in my country and be able to get Merken whenever I want.
It is nice to try different cuisines from around the world. I have to say I do not know much about Chilean food.
