Some of the Peruvian food/drink items we've had while in Peru!
Inca Kola - drink that tastes like bubblegum. Peter was a fan, Priscilla was not.
Chicha morada - purple drink made from purple corn. This has been by far our favorite food/drink item in Peru.
Pisco - tha national drink of Peru, a potent grape brandy. There are 4 kinds of pisco: aromatic, non-aromatic, blended, and half fermented; all made from a variety of 8 different grapes from the southwest coast of Peru.
Antichucho - beef heart kabobs. Don't be turned off by the definition. Definitely worth a try because it was one of the best meals we had.
Ceviche - raw fish in lime juice. Another one of the best meals we've had.
Alpaca - good for wool and good for eat.
Pollo brasa - commonly known as Peruvian chicken in the US. Who would have thought this meal is considered street food?
Lomo saltado - stirfry with fries. Sometimes beef, sometimes alpaca.
Sopa de quinoa - quinoa soup.
Sopa de criolla - my favorite soup here! It's a cream based soup with noodles and beef.
Potatoes - there are 300 varieties of potatoes grown in Peru.
Cuy - guinea pig. Usually served during celebrations. Fatty and crispy skin like a duck, with a hint of fish?
