Cuy, a Peruvian delicacy, is roasted guinea pig. According to my research (prompted by a question at our daily Trivia match), guinea pigs are a traditional "good luck" food in Peru. Guinea pig reportedly is being touted as an alternative to beef throughout South America because of its lower carbon footprint and similar nutritional value. Guinea pig is a particularly popular food in Peru, Ecuador and Guatemala.
Skeeter, stay home.
Holy cow! Oops, I mean Holy Guinea Pig. That's amazing although smaller carbon footprint makes sense as they have tiny feet. Tee Hee. Remember curried goat at JSWC progressive dinner? Yum.
