That night I met an American couple at my hostel and tagged along with them for dinner and drinks.  Lima has a huge selection of cuisine, both traditional and modern.  I kicked off my gastronomical explorations with two of the most famous: lomo saltado (beef strips and vegetables on a bed of french fries) and a Pisco Sour (Peruvian grape brandy, whipped egg whites, and lime juice).  Sandwiches and pastries are also quite common.
