Peruvian Food

So the food was interesting...

I got to have some of this... Potatoes with mud as a dressing. That is what all the people that live in the country still eat for lunch everyday. Anyway it was quite nice... Tim thought that they tasted like tates with butter... I thought that it tasted like tates with mud... But nice mud. Actually the mud is kinda special. It comes from above 5000 m and they dig down 5-10 meters to get it.... I suggest you all go out to your backyards and find some dry clay like mud, reconstitute it with some water and then boil some potatoes and go for it....



Then it began to get really interesting as for tea that night we went to a restaurant that had guinea pig on the menu.... So Tim convinced himself that he want to eat that... Now don't believe him when he says that it was my idea cause as we all know I am a strict vegetarian (well more or less), and he is just trying to get out of his own guilt...



So if you can see the head on the left of the plate, the 2 dark knobs down near the neck are of course little guinea pig ears...



And here is Tim after finishing the guinea pig (or as Richard - Tim's dad - astutely called guinea pork). Tim said it tasted like duck but was regretting it already... I think this is because he just finished reading Watership Down, and he fell in love with Hazel and Fiver and the whole gang really....

How could he do it I hear you ask....
