Spent the weekend in Cajamarca, Peru. This is a tasty dish!
Off to the Yanacocha gold mine tomorrow. Will have to post some other pics from the weekend as well.

Atleast it comes in a 2 liter.

Strangely, Andrew Zimmern is eating cuy on TV as I type this. Enjoy your trip!
-
Just a thought...how many rat farms have yall heard about? Which brings up another question, what was this ginormous rat eating before the cook killed it and cooked it?

Man that looks like some good Cavia porcellus frito.:) Nice white meat high in protein and low in fat and cholesterol. Does the Guinea pig taste like rabbit or chicken? It looks pretty darn good.

"Cuy" is very tasty! Have eaten it several times during trips to Peru. Peru has some of the finest food in South America. It's kind of a cross between rabbit and squirrel, but raised domestic. I'd take it over rabbit any day. The skin is good and crunchy.
That drink is Inca Cola and a little like cream soda.
Well gotta hit the road. Off to Yanacocha, Pacasmayo, Trujillo, and then Lima.

Looks tasty :) ... What're you doing at the mines?
-
Good lord.
I've been up since about 4.00am suffering from what I think is food poisoning.
Congrats...this thread made me hurl again.
:aok
-
cúy is excellent. have you had the céviche yet. yummy stuff. I agree with you peruvian cuisine is very good.
-
I have had rabbit in Germany....pretty good.
My grandparents ate squirrel (in chili) back in Mississippi....squirrel...the OTHER white meat.
Cuy...I'd have to try it before balking at it....I'd like to have to tobasco sauce on the side just in case.:confused:
Have a great trip...hope the altitude doesn't make you "gassy". :O

Working with instrumentation and control systems. This is probably somewhere between 12 to 15 times in Peru.

Pretty sure that was Qui - or fried Ginnie pig. I had it myself when I was en Ecuador...
And yeah... it tastes like chicken. Only more oily.
-
You know, they only feed that to the Gringo's as a joke.
:rofl

In Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela we call that 'Curi'.
Its a bigger 'version 'of a guinea pig. Very tasty. Imagine chicken with the taste of well seasoned kobe beef (chicken'ish of course).

Hello from Trujillo, Peru. Off to Lima this evening and tomorrow morning to Arequipa, a very lovely city.
Cuy is a Quechua name. I've had it many times and something I look forward to when visiting Peru. It's a recognized delicacy here in Peru.
It's very very tasty. In fact I was thinking about stopping by PetsMart next week and picking up a couple of breeding pair.
That drink on the table is Inca Cola and tastes very good....almost like cream soda but better.
You would not believe this but just now while typing this I paused in the business center of this small hotel to ask a very sexy Peruvian lady about raising Cuy and now have a phone number.

I've eaten a lot of strange things, and I'll bet that is tasty, but I'd never try it if it looked like that. Cut up and served in slices? Sure. But the way they served it? Not on your life.

I was thinking the same thing. Looking at that fried rat head, and it's little fried rodent claws on the plate would gross me.

This cuy is having a bad day:

Tragedy! These Cuy never realized that they had invited Jack the Ripper to their slumber party.

For the sexy Peruvian lady or for a rat breeder?

I once had cheval for lunch in Switzerland. I was a good way through it before I finally remembered from high-school French what 'cheval' is.
It was surprisingly tasty.

I refuse to eat anything with it's little rat head and rat claws still attached. Grind it up and make tamales, then I'm OK with it.
