Just a quick entry to say that I finally tried cuy last night, and I really liked it. Tastes like chicken! Well, sort of anyway. The funniest part about it is that when the plate comes out the cuy looks like a large deep-fried rat – claws are intact, ears are still attached, teeth, etc. But I was eager to dive in and couldn’t really dwell on the fact that my dinner was a cute little guinea pig before I came along to eat it up. So I ate an entire one by myself, including one eyeball, a kidney, both ears, and the brain (all considered delicacies). I drew the line at the liver. Enjoy the photos!
