We are good with healthy food, but our portion size is OUT OF CONTROL.

Not true: most Italians break spaghetti. Moreover, "mama" is wrong. Correct word is "mamma".

JAJAJAJAJAJA, and tell Chileans that Pisco Sour is Peruvian (I am Chilean, but I LOVE Peruvian Pisco Sour, Peruvian food, Peruvian culture, people, etc.)

Is that because it's so incredibly beautiful that the question is stupid or because a country can't be "nice"? Bad grammar?

Guys! Don’t get mad at brontosonto, what they said was the translation of Peruvian words in the comic.

Ha! So true. And generalizations make us feel so superior, until it's a generalization about us!

Funny, although chileans are the ones that use the "huevón" slang

'Huevón' is also used in Peru. Although not as culturally touchy, Ecuadorean 'ceviche' is just weird - it's tomato based and they put actual popcorn in it which gets all saturated and soggy, instead of delicious crunchy 'canchita'. Yuck!
