Health food, Peru style

During our stay in Cusco, Peru we visited the outdoor market. One of the first things I saw was this bucket of frogs, all alive. I would imagine that fresh frogs legs are probably really appreciated. I've eaten them before and they were pretty tasty, once you forget about cute eyes, Kermit, and all.

A few tables later and we encountered these delicacies. You know, in the U.S. the waiters in most restaurants wear gloves. What's in the food they're afraid to come into contact with?  Not one person in Peru wore gloves. No fear, if you ask me. I couldn't wait to get back home and eat all that health food. You know, the kind that gives you natural gas!
