Ibai Llanos's Breakfast Battle: Ecuador vs. Peru Ignites Unexpected National Passion and Political Engagement
A culinary competition initiated by Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos has unexpectedly ignited a fierce national rivalry between Ecuador and Peru, drawing in politicians, national media, and even a celebrity. The 'World Breakfast Championship,' which pits traditional breakfast dishes against each other, has seen an unprecedented level of public engagement, with both nations rallying behind their respective entries. Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa and Lima's Mayor Rafael López Aliaga have publicly endorsed their national dishes, urging citizens to vote. "We must all vote!" declared Mayor Aliaga, while President Noboa was seen actively participating in the campaign. The Ministry of Tourism of Ecuador even created an animated mascot, 'Don Bolón,' to garner support for their 'Bolón de verde.' National news channels in both countries are providing minute-by-minute updates on the voting, treating the competition with the fervor typically reserved for major sporting events. One Peruvian news segment featured culinary experts analyzing the 'Pan con Chicharrón,' while an Ecuadorian mother was filmed calling her entire family to ensure their votes were cast. "It can't be that Peru is winning!" she exclaimed, highlighting the emotional investment. The competition has also attracted celebrity attention, with adult film star Sasha Grey tweeting her support for Ecuador's 'Bolón de verde,' even offering to be a guest judge. Ecuadorian brands have joined the fray, offering free food if their country wins. Ibai Llanos expressed his astonishment at the scale of the phenomenon, stating, "This madness has reached another level; it has reached governments." The final results are eagerly awaited, promising to crown a breakfast champion amid a wave of national pride.
