                                                                   "STUFFED CAUSE"

                         The stuffed cause is a typical dish of the gastronomy of Peru.

This dish is made based on yellow potatoes, lemon, chili, lettuce, corn, fresh cheese, boiled egg, avocado and black olives. This preparation admits several variants, such as stuffed with tuna, chicken, seafood or other varieties of white meat. It is served with a light mayonnaise bath. And it is one of the favorites of Peruvians and tourists.

The cause is a dish with a lot of history in Peruvian gastronomy, it dates from the time of emancipation, and its creation was a great improvisation of a patriotic lady who had nothing but potatoes to feed the hungry Peruvian soldiers. When the general of the troop asked him the name of the singular dish, he got no answer. Faced with this situation, the skillful and ingenious military man did not hesitate to baptize the dish as "for the cause." Over the years the name was only shortened to "Cause."
