It does seem a little weird but I wonder what Peru thinks of us keeping them as pets. Good question! When I confessed my hesitation about trying the cuy for that reason I received polite nods and a shrug - they have heard it all before I'm sure Cuy is something that I definitely need to try!
It's just so characteristic. Great post! Photos look delish! I had the opportunity to have a 12 course meal while in Peru which was a really great way to sample all of the different cuisines which make up their national spread.
Really loved how much seafood came into play, and I realized that Lima is a foodies paradise! They take their dining very seriously over there.
Do love a good pisco sour to wash everything down! I was apprehensive about Cuy at first, but really wasn't bad after you get past the mental idea that you're eating your pet :D. A 12 course meal sounds like quite a luxury - and Peru would have been the perfect place. The food is a real point of pride there, I'm sure it was wonderful.
Causa and picarones look and sound like something I'd love! And maybe yucca with all sorts of dipping too! Would have to try find some Peruvian restaurant somewhere! If you can find a Peruvian restaurant I really recommend that you give it a try - you will come away with no regrets Pork Butifarra. Kennedy Park Resident.
