Apparently not. Time marches on. I do not, however, care for that particular element of Peruvian cuisine.

I'll say, mountainguy. I Googled "cuy hors d'oeuvre" and I sorely regret it. There were no actual guinea pig dishes but I saw a roasted fruit bat which will haunt my nightmares.

Did you expect to find something nice with that search?! |

Did you expect to find something nice with that search?! That really sort of depends on the definition of nice. In this context, it would have meant attractive plate of guinea pig thighs from some innovative little Peruvian fusion place, which, really, might have been pretty nice. |

Uh...OK. I think we may have different definitions of 'nice' :)

Possible. From my window, I can see a severed moose head strapped to the neighbour's truck, and the idea of a Peruvian fusion place is wayyyyyy nicer than that. |

Say "h" to Todd and Sarah for me :). More seriously, I ate elk meat and venison rather frequently as a child. It was not my favorite, although I have tasted some elk stroganoff recipes that were okay. |

It was not my favorite, although I have tasted some elk stroganoff recipes that were okay. Brrr, scary! Luckily I live in a Canuckian area of the frozen north, which Sarah can't see from her place. I've never had elk, and I actually don't like venison that much either. Moose, on the other hand, is pretty fabulous; it really doesn't have the strong taste venison does (to my palate). |

BTW, the book mentioned Chez un demarrage is set in Ecuador, so it's time to stop blaming the Peruvians.

Yep -- I was relieved of my vegetarianism for a spell while living in Ecuador, as it became clear that eating guinea pigs was not considered optional. Being requested to select one in advance from the pen was my least favorite aspect of that experience. Sometimes I wonder whether it's akin to what happened to that couple in the Maldives a couple of days ago: "let's see what we can get those gringos to eat"... |

Sometimes I wonder whether it's akin to what happened to that couple in the Maldives a couple of days ago: "let's see what we can get those gringos to eat"... I have sometimes adopted a vegetarian diet. I don't generally do so just because we raise animals to eat (if no one makes any use of them, they will go extinct--no one is likely to keep cows, sheep, etc, as pets in our society), but where guinea pigs are concerned? I love to eat lobster, but I won't select one from a tank. I doubt sincerely that, given the various descriptions I have heard, that I would love eating guinea pig, whether I selected it, or not. I do believe that if I ever have the opportunity (which I hope someday to have, of visiting there), I may have to find my vegetarianism bent--if for no reason other than to avoid giving offense. Does it count if I will eat properly prepared cicadas, ants (no prep necessary), and the occasional worm (when properly prepared)? (No creamy centers. I want my insects hard cooked--except ants. Cooking spoils the flavor.) |

A boyfriend served me a nice stew one time. It was so good. I asked him what the delicious meat was. Squirrels. Never ate meat again.

I ate guinea pig once.
Last year in rural Argentina I ate a chunk of raw sausage. And I'm a vegetarian.
I lived.
