World Food Gallery > Peru (26)
In fall 2006, I had more than two weeks of adventure in Peru, including boating down the Amazon and trekking up to Machu Picchu. The food was as varied as the people. The highlight, no doubt, was getting to see cuy - or roasted guinea pig. I say "see" because that's all I did - observe. Unfortunately, we came upon the cuy the day the food gods cursed me with some intestinal issues - both northbound and southbound. This was the same day we visited the local cemetary in Cuzco. I didn't want to gain formal and permanent entry.
