Guinea Pig

Just a quick entry to announce that we did try the local delicacy of "Cuy al Horno", oven baked Guinea pig last night.

Tasted ok, once we both got past the fact that it looked like a giant hairless rat road kill, and that all its organs, face, claws and teeth were still included. Certainly was a unique flavour, that neither of us will be rushing to order again I don't think. We were in a restaurant with only one other couple there, and I think the woman was a vegetarian judging by the looks that we were getting, especially when picking up bits of carcas and taking photos of each other. It even smiled for the camera.

As for taste, it kind of tasted a bit like rabbit, but there wasn't a lot of meat to eat, and we both spent most of our time poking at it, trying to avoid the slimy bits. The skin was like rubber. Wasn't too bad though, and we're both still alive today.
