Typically, Nicole and I seek high end fusion joints for la cena (dinner). Instead, last night, Nicole busted out some improv and took us to a "typical" Arequipena restaurant.
The menu consisted of designer pets (guinea pig and llama/alpaca) and other local favorites, including hot peppers stuffed with mystery meats and avocados stuffed with mayonaise. We enjoyed all of the above, except for the famed guinea pig, or cuy. (I plan to dine on this delicacy in Cusco.)
Halfway through our meal, we were delighted to find a Peruvian quintet serenading us to typical Andean tunes. We loved them so much we bought their CD...
So much typical fare, but we just couldn't get enough. Luckily, our most favorite of the typical fare, Arequipena Cerveza, comes in 750 ml bottles. Salud!
