Gastronomy Peru: Exotic foods

Looks regular? Yes, fries, fried egg and rice are, but the meat is alpaca steak.

Coca leaves, the centre piece is plant ashes which is a catalyst.

Arequipa´s traditional soup, chaque, with vegetables and pig´s intestines.

Arequipa´s cheese ice-cream.

Rocoto Relleno (stuffed hot pepper with cheese and meat) and potato cake.

Fried trout from Lake Titicaca.

Wheat bread from wheat grown in Isla Taquile and a very tasty salsa.

Salteña ... a Bolivian fare. Stuffed deep fried dough with a very spicy sauce. In Argentina and Perú, it´s called empanada, while in Venezuela it´s called arepa. Pretty much the same things.
