There are more Quechua words, but yes, a few food names are not "language influence" in any seruous way. French influenced English and Russian, Arabic influenced Spanish, but the only linguistic legacy of Germans in Chile are kuchen, strudel, and some weird last names used as street names.

Your conclusion is then that Chilean Spanish has no Quechua language influence in any serious way?

You forgot bocha, polca, and murra.

You keep either missing or intentionally misinterpreting what I'm saying, and then arguing against your own interpretation. So let's end it.
