Last week was a big week as we made our first foray into the world of Loja's local delicacies. The first was Karine checking out 'Caldo de Nervio' (ox penis soup if you really want to know). Probably won't be doing that again soon. Pretty amazing though to watch other people almost inhale a soup which I could hardly touch! For the curious the bright pink drink is 'horchata' a local tea adored by everyone, it's quite nice as long as you get the no sugar version (remarkably difficult to procure, trust me).
The next event was our first 'cuy' (guinea pig) and this was alot better! The teeth are pretty impressive, but the acutal meat was good, and the potatoes underneath excellent. For a much anticipated event we were pleasantly surprised.
