For some this may be hard to swallow, but one of the local specialties in Peru is "cuy" or guinea pig. In Arequipa, it's cuy chactado, which is a deep friend version of our furry little friend. You can ask the chef to cut it up for you so that you don't have to look at the head and claws and everything, but what fun would that be?! Here I am giving my dinner a little kiss.
