They call them ‘Cuy’ and they are not pets. It’s a bit like Red Lobster where you pick out the one you want and they prepare them for you. Deep fried whole (I have pictures but I’ll spare you as it’s not pretty). They say it’s very tasty but I have not experienced it for myself. So why Guinea Pigs? Well they are cheap source of meat that reproduces very quickly. They have a phrase that says if you want an army of Cuy all you need is one couple in love. Three to four babies can be produced per month and breading age is reached within a month. It also only takes three months to be ready to eat. Anyone hungry?
