If you sit at the corner of a table, you won't get married.

Answer 2

Oh many! try this webpage www.yanuq.com which is full of peruvian recipes and stories associated with them. One of the first things you need to know is that the Incas had lots of gods and one of the most important one was the Pachamama which was the godess of the earth and nothing ever happened (in the food area) without her consent. Every food you ate had to be blessed by her.

When you drink chicha beer, you hold it to the left, up high, then the middle, and then the right of you, pour some to "mother earth", and then take a sip.  Next, you pass it around to the right of you.
