Cuy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by daveg under Uncategorized
I’ve been meaning to try cuy (guinea pig) since Ecuador but didn’t get around to it until Peru. The Ecuadorians say it is better there and of course the Peruvians disagree.
This post is more about pictures than it is about words. So Enjoy.
If you want to see the really graphic pics, just mail me. There are a bunch that I have online that bring you even closer to my dinner.
So cute!
This is where Mr. Cuy was cooked
This is the drink that Theo was drinking– Inca Cola and beer. He has been drinking Coke and beer, but when in Peru you HAVE to use Inca cola. It isn’t that bad… really
Mr. Cuy is now cooked
See, I liked him!
Now he’s quartered for sharing.
Theo likes him too!

My daughter can never see this. Her favorite books as a little kid was Fluffy the classroom guinea pig. And you just ATE FLUFFY!!

I will never be able to go to a pet store with you again, because I’m afraid the only thought going through your head in the small animal section will be “Ohhh, dinner!”

Dad: I love lobster!! Just not the way that Aunt Pat eats it like a giant crawfish sucking the head!
Liz/Kim: I can’t be trusted around guinea pigs. I just took a video of a hotel that I stayed at that raised cuys. There must have been hundreds of them. When you walked into the room, they all scream “CUY! CUY! CUY! CUY!!!!!!!!!”. They’re so cute…but so tastey. Deep fried goodness.

Please forgive Gary. He knoweth not what he say.
Any good menu includes, but is not limited to, the following tasty treats: mice, rats, squirrels, chipmunks, gophers, porcupines, beavers, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, degus, chinchillas, prairie dogs, and groundhogs.
Bon appetit.

Whoa! That looks nasty!!!
I’m glad you have the courage to eat all those things 
I’m not sure I would eat a Cuy, especially when it resembles so much the original creature!! :S

HEy Dave, spending my afternoon cathcing up on your blog. Had to comment on your feast. Kudos to you, cause I couldn’t do it! All I can think about is Mr. Barnacles, my daughter guinea pic from class that stayed w/ us on the holidays. Does it taste like chicken?
