well we finally got around to eating the national dish of Peru... Roasted Guinea Pig (coya)... We were enthusiastic about this culinary adventure until the poor little fella came out like a pig on a spit... we think he was full stride when cooked as his little back leg was fully extended. once we covered his shrivelled head with a napkin, it was each girl for herself!! actually it took quite a bit of time to psych ourselves up to eat him. then it was stringy and gamey... we possibly sent most of him back to the kitchen (there was very little meat on his bones... as you can imagine). The waiter then delivered us shots of ánise´(a bit like oozo) to help with ´digestion´... we think it was just to have the tourist go away happy.
we have also heard about a ´health juice´made from frog legs amongst other things, but have decided to leave kermit for another day!!
