Guinea pigs are a common part of Peruvian diet.
These are the cutest animals ever. F that
In all fairness, most of the animals humans eat are adorable. I won’t judge someone for eating guinea pig anymore than I’d judge them for eating beef. However, despite that, I wish I had not seen this.
What does it taste like? Gamey? Chicken?
Do they also think we’re strange? Keeping food as if they’re pets?
And they often live off what is “biodegradable waste” for us. Imagine you standing in the kitchen prepping veg for dinner, and just dropping peels and outer leaves, carrot greens and cabbage stalks to the ground for the guinea pigs to eat.
That’s basically what was historically done with pigs in large parts of Eurasia, but they also eat meat and bone
Is this supposed to be bad?
I had cuy there too! Though it was at a restaurant lol. I had them grilled, it was delicious. You just have to get over seeing them on a plate. I mean it’s not much different from seeing a cornish hen or something. It’s a trip when you go to someone’s house and they have guinea pigs, except they’re for food and not pets.
Yeah, it’s the idea. One restaurant had them in cages around the side of the building. They were undoubtedly fresh, but I couldn’t order it after seeing them.
Oh I view them as adorable pets too and know how that would be a bit difficult sight. I just make an effort to try the local dishes whenever traveling.
Except bugs. I really do not fuck with bugs lol.
Ah, childhood memories. When we went to this one relatives house, I never understood why my parents never let us play with the rabbits.
…. After I grew up, I had to wonder what that funny tasting “chicken” really was. Adult Me wants to know
How do they get them so smooth and hairless?
Big vat of nair?
What’s their secret?
Asking for a friend
They do look a lot more like pigs once they’re de-furred.
