Some culinary discoveries....

Picante de Cuy 

Yes! Finally tasted guinea-pig! Cuy is pronounced "couille", so we had some giggles when we first heard about it. All they do is pretty much remove the hair/fur (although I'm sure I saw a few hairs laying around) and then you are set to go. I wasn't particularly a fan, it sort of tasted like chicken and the texture wasn't fab...And I have to admit that it wasn't really the most pleasant dish to look at.

 Hamburguesa de Alpaca

For all those who don't know the difference between Alpaca and Lama, well I don't know it either. Let's just say they are pretty similar. Anyways, I had this at a French Crêperie in Huaraz (don't ask why it was on the menu) and it was delicious. 



And this is a drink made out of coca liquor,  which I absolutely loved.
