(Long overdue) food blog

Some of the more interesting things we've eaten over the past couple of months:

(Lomo saltado.  Stir fried beef with onions & tomatoes, with rice & chips.  A popular Peruvian dish of Chinese origin, I think.  Served everywhere.  Some places stir fry the chips in with the beef:)


(Paul's first alpaca steak, drowned in a mushroom sauce, served with quinoa risotto)

(ChicharrĂ³n - crispy fatty pork served with big Peruvian corn)

(Dire coffee from a place in Aguas Caliente - shameful for a coffee-producing country!)

(Oreo cookies with a dulce de leche filling!)

(Guinea pig - a whole one spatchcocked like a chicken, head and all)

(Mixed seafood ceviche with a chunk of sweet potato)

(Anticucho - skewers of beef heart - very, very tender meat!)
