What foods are there in Peru?

Question

I have to bring a food in for school. It has to have came from or orginated from Peru or whatever Peruvians eat. I have no idea what they eat. I cannot have the food disgusting because students in my class will have to try it if they want. And also where can i buy the peru food from? I live in Hawaii.

Answer 1

Well, I was going to say Guinea Pig, but I guess that might be too gross.

Corn, potatoes, bananas and plantains, I think.  Lima beans?  No.  I don't think Lima beans are really from Peru.  Try searching for foods of Peru.  You will probably find a couple of easy recipes.  Try epicurious.com, and then search Peru inside their site.  Or the Food Network.

This is all there is on epicurious...I got curious.
