Resumen:
The aim of this study was to investigate the acceptability of varied food menus, preferred by children of
11?14 years located at Puna (3500 m.a.s.l.), in young urban people. The children drew ??the preferred
menu?? which showed that the consumption of vegetables as a main course was comfortable when it
was consumed in the form of soups and mixed vegetables. However, some imbalances were detected
when evaluating the percentage of daily nutritional values and the caloric distribution of nutrients. Consumer?s
hedonic scores showed significant acceptability to the cheese empanadas, Andean potato cake
and Andean mashed potato. The free word association test suggested that, because of their relationship
with culture, the Andean mashed potato, verde potato stew with charqui and anchi of apple could be
offered as a traditional food. The acceptability of meals was largely related to the meals having the highest
input of energy, fat and carbohydrates but containing the least content of protein and dietary fiber.
