Curanto is a traditional dish of the islands of Chiloé, and includes clams, muscles, other shellfish, potatoes, potato bread, sausage, chicken, and the juices that they are cooked in. Traditionally, the dish is cooked in the ground with hot stones, wet leaves, and covered with dirt until cooked.

| Curanto: Chiloéan gut bomb and a must-have. Arrive hungry. |
We were hungry by about 6:30, and arrived at the restaurant in Ancud around 6:45. (A respectable time for dinner, right? No!). We were the only ones in the restaurant until about 7:30. And it wasn't until the second table was seated that the proprietor turned off the talk radio, and put dinner music on. We discovered that night that going out for dinner at 7:00 is the equivalent to going out for dinner at 4:30.
And even then, we beat the senior citizen crowd to it!
