Many Peruvians also own fancier polleras for festivals and special occasions.]]> 2019-05-06 17:34:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hgodellas19/8z8wfydvttx1/wish/357305223 hgodellas19 https://padlet.com/hgodellas19/8z8wfydvttx1/wish/357306442 Although it may seem odd to us, guinea pig is a key part of Peruvian cuisine. Guinea pigs aren’t domesticated household pets like they are in the United States and are merely an indigenous animal of the region. Cuy, or guinea pig, is a delicacy in Peru and has been a staple in Andean cuisine for the past 5,000 years. Most of the time, cuy is eaten fried or roasted similarly to how we prepare chicken. ]]> 2019-05-06 17:36:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hgodellas19/8z8wfydvttx1/wish/357306442 hgodellas19 https://padlet.com/hgodellas19/8z8wfydvttx1/wish/357307403 Peru went through multiple architectural periods with the older Incan and other tribal civilizations moving into the European colonization.
