Well today I had ceviche for the first time. This is a traditional Peruvian dish. And as you can guess by the title of this post it a dish of raw fish. Well raw probably isn't the right word, uncooked by heat is probably the right word. And I know at this point you are probably thinking what other ways are there to took food than by using heat (boiling, baking, frying and my favorite, grilling). Well you cook the fish using acid. Well not the type of acid that you immediately think of when you hear acid (I generally think sulfuric) but citric acid. The fish is "cooked" by bathing it in lemon and lime juice. And I can tell you that it is excellent. I would suggest that you head out to your nearest Peruvian restaurant and get some, and make sure to wash it down with a pisco sour! Que Rico!

I like this post; it is funny!
I noticed the same thing when I went to Nigeria two years ago.
I think I brought back a bit of honk happiness with me though because now I never hesitate to honk at drivers that slightly annoy me.
