Peru - foods of diversity

Peru is a country of great diversity. With over 1.2 million sq km, it has such different parts as coast (Costa), mountains (Sierra) and jungle (Selva).

Today one of my coworkers has a birthday. And this is the reason why we all went to a restaurant, that serves very typical food from southern part of Peru – from Arequipa. This is typical even for Limaños.

The food served is among others: pig’s feet, cow’s udder, bull’s testicles (very tasty indeed), and my personal favorite, the cuy. I won’t tell you what is it, you will have to find out. But I must admit, it’s very tasty.

And drinks – one typical drink from that region (specially Cusco and Andes) is Chicha de jora, which is made from maize. And after food you can drink anis. It’s stronger drink, similar to Turkish rakı or Greek ouzo. And the way you drink it – you get a small bottle (approx. 10 cl) that is circling at the table. And it should be finished with the last person. If not the bottle is not finished, or gets empty earlier, you need to order another round.

And of course the most typical one – pisco sour. But let me write about it another time.

OK, and what would be the most "exotic" and strange food you have ever tasted? Share that in comments.
Or tell me if you have figured out, what cuy is.

Vorarlberg



Over the weekend Kaisa, Sabine and me visited Benjamin, who was the perfect host and guide through Vorarlberg, lake of Constance and Liechtenstein. After visiting Vorarlberg I do understand why
do other parts of country make constantly jokes about it: they are only jealous.
Vorarlberg is a little piece of heaven on earth!!!!
