Guinea pig meals

One thing I really enjoyed about Peru was meeting the locals. This nice lady let me hold her guinea pig and pose for this photo. Later of course, I realized that guinea pigs are considered great eating. So, on my next visit to a restaurant... well... I had to have a taste! Some of you have asked me what it tastes like, since I'm sure you don't want to execute your kids pet and try it. Okay, here is my best description; it doesn't taste like chicken. It doesn't taste like a rattlesnake, or like buffalo. I suppose it just tastes like guinea pig, a little tough, kinda greasy, dark meat. Yum.
