Guinea pig or "cuy". Eeek!!!

---

Jen decided against a spit-roast meal of guinea pig - from what we saw of them in Ecuador last year it leaves nothing to the imagination - the poor little creature is impaled on a large-calibre spit intact (feet, teeth, etc.). Jen decide to sample her first cuy in a stew in Cusco. David had a pizza and asked how she was getting on when he was halfway through a quite passable Napolitano. "Not very well" is a rough translation of her response, inasmuch as there was little meat on what was still a largely intact rodent.

Subsequently Jen tried it in the form of a rough terrine (tortology?) on a couple of occasions and pronounced it gamey but a little unremarkable.
