What not to eat in peru?

Answer 1

The peruvians!!!! hahaha.

Answer 2

I am going to write the same as I did to another asker days ago about Peru's food.

Peru has an international cuisine which is one of the best in the world. We have a diet of basically chicken, fish, meat and vegetables. All the dishes are quite tasty and apart from the local peruvian dishes, you will find McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, Piza hut, etc. So even if you dont like what is being served, you can survive on junk food! Jokes apart, the only traditional cuisine you'll find is in places in the highlands or jungle where they eat guinea pigs, sheep and even monkey in the jungle. However, I live here (and was born here) and I have never had those dishes! We have a lot of rice, potatoe, chicken, we eat internationa basic dishes. So dont be scared, try a little bit of our typical dishes like ceviche (raw fish like sushi , cooked in lemon juice), papa a la huancaina (steamed potatoes with a cheesy chili sauce) lomo saltado (beef skillet with potatoes and onions), etc and our lovely rich desserts!!!

What not to eat? Well obviously what you dont like! If you have not tried spicy food before well, dont try much as your stomach may hurt.

Answer 3

You should not eat food sold in the street, here in Peru, you can find people selling sandwichs and typical food. I am a peruvian and I don't take that risk.

You can buy delicious food in a wide variety of fine restaurants. Ask your guide to suggest good restaurants.

Peru is famous for it's food variety and delicious dishes.

Also the restaurants of 5 star hotels are very good.

Have fun :)
