I am very excited to try Peruvian food, mainly because I have never had it before and therefore have no expectations. There's supposedly good ceviche and seafood in Mancora, which I love. The one delicacy I will not eat, but which Ray has sworn to try, is guinea pig. Yup, the same furry creature every 7 year old has as a pet (except for me...my parents gave me little sea turtles because I have a fear of rodents):
I consider myself gastronomically brave...I've eaten octupus, squid, sea urchin, goat (several anatomical parts - the Greeks love their goat), lamb, duck, shark, alligator...But the thought of this furry little creature on a plate in front of me is enough to make me a vegetarian.

Gross! Let me know what Ray thinks of it. Have you left yet??
I don't think I would try Guinea pig either. It just doesn't seem right.
Ray's mom says..this does not surprise me..you can't take him anywhere. Make him sit at another table to eat. You guys have a great trip, see you when you get back. Love, Mom & Dad
It's all about the presentation...I recommend 'chicharrón de cuy' or 'picante de cuy'...it looks less like a furry little animal...but the meat is very tasty...
