If I had left Peru without trying our little friend the Guinea Pig my reputation as an open-to-try-everything foodie would have come into question. So, probably Peru’s most famous dish, cuy (guinea pig), had to be tasted.
We had it roasted at La Choza de Oscar (www.lachozadeoscar.com), and I must admit, even before trying it, I was wondering where the meat was... Ok so first bite was a lot of skin, but crispy, aromatic skin nonetheless, the type you’d expect on a confit duck. As for the meat, it was quite like chicken thigh, only darker, almost slightly gamey. All in all, worth a try, but para mi, it was nothing to write home about.
