Duolingo Spanish Podcast, Episode 12: Sin vergüenza (2)

Episode 12: Sin vergüenza (2)

Maria: Mi cara se puso roja, como en la escuela. Pero esta vez, no por la vergüenza.

Martina: “Guinea pigs? The same guinea pig we have as pets?” They asked. And he said he didn't know because he hadn't tried it.

Maria: Me paré. Fui a la cocina para beber agua y a escucharlos hablar.

Martina: One of the women went on to wonder out loud to the group why Peruvians would eat guinea pigs if they didn't have that much meat, and at that moment Maria turned around and said to them:

Maria: “Hola, mi nombre es Maria. Yo soy de Perú. Sí, los peruanos comemos cuy. Sí, es un guinea pig. Y sí, es una comida exquisita para ocasiones especiales”.

Martina: It's delicious, she told them, and it's a key dish of Peruvian cuisine which is praised all over the world.

Maria: Esta vez, los que tenían vergüenza eran ellos.
