Hi

I understand that one of the traditional meals in Peru is cuy...fried Guinea pig. Anyone tried it? Does it just taste like chicken?

Gard -

To me that looks like a fileted rat. Sorry, but I am not game.

It downloaded really slow too, which just added to its hideousness, although I could not take my eyes off it.

I could never eat it - I could feel sorry for it.

Now I have to try to get that image out of my head.

Gard, how about putting the photo on your site, and just linking to it.

I'm glad I didn't see the picture because it would have upseted me immensely. We have two pet guinea pigs at home. We used to have three and one died a week ago. My daughter is still very sad and so am I.
