Gluten Morgen Foodie Friends!
While visiting Peru, I had the opportunity to taste so so so many amazing dishes.
But! The most unusual ingredient that I encountered would have to be...**drum roll** ...cuy! Or, better known in the states as, roasted Guinea pig on a stick. While in Cuzco, our guide taught us that eating cuy is traditionally reserved for special occasions like birthdays (because it takes a lot of 'em to feed a whole family). Cuy is served teeth and all and, I gotta say, I understand why they're a delicacy. It tasted delicious even though it didn't look like it could in a million years.
If any of you lucky ducks get a chance to taste cuy with a Peruvian family, I say go for it!
P.S. But! If the cuy isn't for you, then I super recommend ordering a Pisco Sour, the Ceviche, and the Chinese-Peruvian Fusion duck if given the opportunity
P.S.S. Please feel free to hit me up if you're planning a trip to Peru, cuz I already have a guide for ya
