The primary ingredients found in nearly every Peruvian dish are rice, potatoes, chichen, pork, lamb, and fish. Most of these meals include one of the different kinds of "aji", or Peruvian hot pepper, which mainly are: yellow aji pepper, red aji pepper, red rocoto pepper

It is Ceviche.

Ceviche is Peru's national dish. It is raw fish (often white sea bass but sometimes other fish or mixed seafood) marinated in Peru's highly acidic limes (which "cooks" the fish) and mixed with onions and a little hot pepper. It is generally served with a slice of sweet potato and cancha, or toasted corn kernels. It is also usually accompanied by a cold cup of leche de tigre, the liquid that drains out of the ceviche, and a hot limey fish broth soup, which appears to be made with the fish parts not used in the main dish. More popular in the highlands is cuy, or guinea pig. Before they are roasted, they look exactly like guinea pigs you'd see in a pet store. These things take forever to eat - there's not much meat on them. I think that in the countryside they are allowed to run around the kitchen and eat scraps until the fateful day comes when the slowest or dumbest one is cornered then baked or roasted. Chiri uchu, which is served in the Cusco region for the Corpus Christi festival. It is a plate stacked high with a piece of corn bread, roasted guinea pig, chicken, pork, sausage, water weeds, fish roe, a slice of cheese, pepper slices, and cancha. It is eaten with the hands, which makes it a messy affair.

There are many types of foods used in Peru. Peppers, rice, chicken, pork, and lamb are used in many dishes from Peru. Some common and delicious dishes from this country include aji de gallina, this is a shredded chicken in a spicy milk sauce, and arroz con pollo which is chicken served in a green sauce over green rice.

Two foods that I know are eaten in Peru are small potatoes and fish. The fish can be made into a ceviche, in which the fish is cooked by the acidity of lime juice and mixed with herbs and veggies.
