You can dress up like a guinea pig in your Peruvian hat
Alex's host mom, Nancy, went on a trip to Peru and Ecuador. She brought me back a hat. Isn't that great?
Where does the V come from in "Peruvian"? Isn't it funny how we just pull letters out of the air at random? I know "Peruian" would sound funny, but why V?
Nancy had a lot of great stories to tell about the trip, like washed-out train tracks, sea-lions that weren't at all shy of humans and sharks and whales swimming around the boat they were in. One guy on the trip had guinea pig, which is apparently a Peruvian delicacy. Also very bony. They sort of take the fur off, cook it, chop off the head, and serve it to you in three pieces.
I'm glad they take the head off. Food with a head is very disturbing. I had a fish in France that still had everything attached. Luckily I could just ape they way everyone else was eating it. If you just plopped a whole fish on my plate, I think I would freak out. In Louisiana, they serve you crawdads with the heads on, too. You're supposed to pull the head off, then suck out what's inside it. Ew ew ew ew ew.
Have you ever eaten anything with a face?
