Eating and Drinking
As with almost every activity, the style and pattern of eating and drinking varies considerably between the three main regions of Peru. Depending on the very different ingredients available locally, food in each area is essentially a mestizo creation, combining indigenous Indian cooking with four hundred years of European - mostly Spanish - influence. Guinea pig (cuy) is the traditional dish most associated with Peru, and indeed, you can find it in many parts of the country, but especially in the mountain regions, where it is likely to be roasted in an oven and served with chips. In the past twenty years, with the wave of North American interests in the country, fast food has become commonplace. You'll find Kentucky Fried Chicken in Lima; and hamburgers, as well as the ubiquitous pizza, which the Peruvians have adopted with enthusiasm, are more readily available than the traditional guinea pig.
