During the beginnings of the Republic of Peru, the new rulers and the dominant society of those times opted to be in the fashion that reigned in the world. Eating French style was the latest fashion in that high society. Therefore, all banquets served until after the 1900s were French style. This Fig. 7 shows a French-style menu served in 1871, at a meeting in the city of Mollendo, Arequipa. Peru. Note. Details of the buffet dinner for the inauguration of the Mollendo—Arequipa railway.
