Bandera de Perú

/Sounds like 'KAW KAW'/

A classic Peruvian dish made with tripe, potatoes, and yellow chili pepper — one of the most traditional plates of Lima's criollo cuisine. Also used colloquially to describe stomach trouble or digestive issues, which tells you something about how people feel about eating offal.

Example

"Mi abuela hace el mejor cau cau de todo el barrio. → "My grandmother makes the best cau cau in the whole neighborhood."

"Comí en la calle y me cayó mal. → "I ate some at a random place and it didn't sit well with me."
