Guatemalans enjoy traditional food, home cooked and made with fresh ingredients. Although international fast-food chains are becoming popular in some of the larger cities, most of the people in this Central American nation still don’t care for it, preferring traditional meals. On of the meals is Kak'ik. Kak’ik is a thick, spicy turkey stew made in the highlands, particularly those where the Ki’che culture is still strong. It takes all day to cook and is a real treat for those visitors who get the chance. In addition to turkey, ingredients include achioIe, cilantro, garlic, tomatoes and dried peppers.
