Week 6 Progress and Current Event

This week I have continued my research on food inn other spanish speaking countries and I have researched Peru and Honduras. For Peru, I found out that their staple ingredients are corn, potatoes, amaranthaceaes, and legumes, which are beans. The Peruvian cuisine incorporates both ore inca and Inca ingredients, but mainly it's country cuisine is set apart by thee geographically different parts. the three parts are; the jungle, the Andean highlands, and the coast. Though, each Peru region has it's own special dishes based on it's culture background and location and weather. As far as Hinduras, the main ingredients are rice, beans, and tortillas. The main dish for the morning is called the "baliada", and is a tortilla with beans and sour cream, and sometimes vegetables. The afternoon dish is called the "pastelito", which is also a tortilla, but with chicken or beef, and spices, and then it is deep-fried. 

My current event this week is from the country of Peru, and is debating the issue of eating cuy, which is a guinea pig, and they also have a festival for the creature before they eat it. The article is mainly about why certain animals should not be eaten in countries, and how it making many species become extinct, because of illegally killing them and trading the meat. This relates to my topic because it talking about Peru having the odd delicacy of guinea pig, but also about it’s festival for the animal, and how other countries use odd meats too
