During the week of Fiestas Patrias, I pretty much ate nothing but cazuela, which is the Chilean version of chunky chicken soup -- consisting of a chicken leg, a potato, rice, green beans, and slices of pumpkin. And today, my parents served me what they referred to as "Chile's hangover cure." It was basically a beef, potato, and onion stew. My host father told me that it's a typical dish to eat right after the end of Fiestas Patrias. "Everyone drinks a lot of alcohol during Fiestas Patrias," he informed me. "They need something hearty, something to help with their bad hangovers."
College students everywhere, take note!
