    Believe it or not, Yes, Guinea Pig is a staple food in Peru.

    Guinea Pigs are prepared in a wide variety of ways. Roasted, boiled, just think of how many ways you can cook a chicken, then substitute the bird with the rodent.

    Wheat and Rice is the stapled food of Pakistan. Fro wheat, they will make Naan, Roti (bread) and eat it with Dahl, curries, vegetables same as rice.

    Peru and Pakistan are completely different countries, across the world from one another. That said, I don't really know about Pakistan, but I spent some time in Peru and LOVE Peruvian cuisine.

    Cuy (guinea pig) is common in Peru, and they are kept in many households like chickens. However, I wouldn't say it's THE staple food. The main staples vary widely by region. Coastal Peruvians eat tons of seafood. People living in the high Andes eat some quinoa, but it's not really super common. They eat a lot of potatoes throughout Peru, and there are many varieties. The Amazonian part of Peru is completely different. And they actually eat a lot of rice too. In southern Peru, where I was working, they eat a TON of oranges and citrus fruit.

    A STAPLE food of Peru is guinea pig (seriously, it's true) but I don't know what THE staple food is...I don't believe there would be just one, maybe potatoes?

    I could be wrong however when I think of staple foods I think of carbohydrates - so in my opinion for Peru it would be a grain called quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) which i believe translates to mother grain - as for Pakistan i believe it is rice

    not sure about peru but pakistan it would be rice...with curry as they are muslim u will find very few vegetarians there so it would be meat (mutton) or chicken - halal of course.
