The only peruvian dish I've ever had is called ceviche (or cebiche) I'm not too sure of the spelling. It's fish marinated in lemon (actually, the lemon practically cooks the fish). It's really good.

Answer 3

Peruvian food (as you might expect, since that's where they come from) typically features a lot of potatoes. Many dishes are made by encasing cooked meats in a shroud of mashed potatoes.

Here are a bunch of Peruvian recipes:
