We enjoyed the food in Peru. As we travel we always feel we should try the local cuisine even if it is unusual. So we were game to try cuy, a common meat in Peru. In the US we know it as guinea pig and we'd rather pet it than eat it. We thankfully had just a tiny piece (shown here as that dark spot under the white square of cheese in the upper part of the plate) and mine was pretty bony but I'd say it tasted much like chicken. Okay, I tried it. But that doesn't mean I ever have to eat it again. I've decided I don't do rodent. I don't even want a guinea pig for a pet. The white meat on my plate is chicken and there's also potato with corn, tortilla and sweet potato. Not shown, but also served was seasoned quinoa, stuffed pepper and quinoa soup. We never went hungry.
