Just to throw something completely different into this thread. In Peru, Guinea Pigs are kept in the kitchen and fattened up. When their "time" is up..if you get my drift...they are deep fried in oil and then the hair is scraped off and then they are eaten. Nothing like seeing a crispy deep fried Guinea Pig on your plate to liven up a meal. Personally I would pass on this dish unless I was starving. If you want to know what deep fried Guinea Pig looks like just Google it. I decided to spare you all the horror of seeing "Fluffy" on a plate.
