Answer for Tracey

Tracey asked what the food was like while we were camping on the inca trail...
The food was some of the best we have eaten in Peru. Breakfast was pancakes or omelette and plenty of different teas. We had a snack bag containing a combination of cookies, energy bars, boiled sweets, chcolate, and fruit. Lunch and dinner was two courses. Starter was a vegetable soup (always really good). The main course was meat such as trout, lomo saltado (Peruvian beef stir fry made with onions and tomatoes) chicken stuffed with vegetables etc. with rice, vegetables and some kind of potato. After the evening meal we had a dessert like chocolate pudding or stewed apple and cinnamon. And always plenty of tea.
So not that weird or disgusting really.

I did have guinea pig the other day. It was like chicken covered in pork crackling. Quite nice but a bit fiddly to eat. They are sometimes served with the head still attached but mine wasn´t...here´s a picture
