The highlights definitely rate a trip northwest for aficionados of Peruvian food. The low points — most notably a tendency to overcook meat items — are just a puzzlement coming from a kitchen that seems capable of better things.

Do they serve hamster?
What must Alison think when she reads some of these comments? I'd love to see the expression on her face.
I chortle really well, Rick. Had lots of practice.
It's guinea pig, not hamster. And that would be a delicacy.
On our trip to Peru we tried the local corn beer at a working man's pub. Not bad at all. If you don't want to try the local drink and food then you are missing out on travel. We also ate a red fleshed mountain trout that is totally unavailable anywere else in the world.
grilled armadillo or guinea pig should be on their menu. ole.
I want me some fried Guinea pig known as cuy in Peru... Yummy, I like smashing their little heads and eating the brains.
