Peruvian Food

Our travel guide sent us a DVD about Peruvian food. They say it is unique, and could become a global item...like Italian or Japanese or Chinese have done.

I ate alpaco tenderloin one evening. It was very good. It tasted different from anything. It was like a regular steak, but had a different texture and different flavor. Hard to put my figure on how to characterize it. I will say that it definitely was the best alpaco that I ever ate.

Our other favorite was ceviche. This is cubes of seafood not cooked, but marinated in some sort of acid-based liquid...lemon/lime/orange marinade. This was light and refreshing everywhere we tried it.
