It was a blast. I ate a lot, learned a lot, drank some pisco, and hung out with friends. Can't beat that!MikeUSMC said:
Oh Man, that does look good!
Que? 
Que carne es esto? I'm a hopeless Gringo married to a wonderful Latina, so forgive my Spanish, por favor).
Once again im brimming with envy TGCM! That is certainly a very hearty looking Chupe!
I actually had Chupe de Camarones in Gaston's restaurant in Arequipa..... while by any means not bad, i actually enjoyed the dish even more at one of the local Picanterias!.... more expensive doesnt always mean better sometimes....
The subject of anticuchos came up recentlly with a friend of mine. As i think ive mentioned before, i really love using chicken hearts for anticuchos..... but my Peruvian friend was telling me she ran out of beef heart while cooking for a party some time ago, and all she could find on short notice as a substitute was lamb hearts. She said they were an absolute hit and were some of the best anticuchos she had ever tasted..... she even preferred it to beef heart.... I am certainly going to be making a batch next time i bring out the skewers (i like making a whole bunch at once)....

Lamb anticuchos sound delicious! I love lamb everything, so I'm sure their hearts are nice and succulent.
