You do for eating animals, what Steve Creek does for observing animals in ways that nobody has done before. As fascinated as I am at Steve Creeks photos, I am equally blown away by the Cuy pics you posted, though dont think that Ill be rushing to Peru anytime soon to eat the little critters..that critter fought till the end and beyond!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905465668795074734.post-30206729800392519592011-08-18T00:00:04.442+08:002011-08-18T00:00:04.442+08:00Hey Anonymous, Thanks for the post, and sorry to h...Hey Anonymous, Thanks for the post, and sorry to hear of your bad cuy experience. We found it to be excellent. Perhaps your's wasn't as fresh as ours (is that what we call it when it's still alive??). I have actually had cuy in different locations around Peru -- all to my great enjoyment. But elsewhere it was fried like chicken (this tends to be more common outside of the Andes, where cuy is more novelty than basic staple. Still delicious, but nothing like the old school way in Pisaq. And don't even get me started on the alpaca I ate! Happy eating!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05928275488312825060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905465668795074734.post-81698716622617480032011-08-17T22:33:19.196+08:002011-08-17T22:33:19.196+08:00I will truly try anything with an open mind - if s...I will truly try anything with an open mind - if someone eats it, I will eat it. I tried those little critters with great excitement, as I was facinated with the culture around me in the Andes. I tried to like it, I really did - but it was horrible. I kept coming back up to visit me, in little gamey burps, followed by a shudder. I still remember looking at my dear sister-in-law and saying I wasn't sure I should've eaten that guinea pig. "You're telling me," she said, "I've been burping up that woodchuck for hours." So it wasn't just me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905465668795074734.post-91225346655354911602011-08-17T18:23:01.451+08:002011-08-17T18:23:01.451+08:00Actually, why not.

Aside its cute and cuddly appearance, it meets the edibility criteria: not poisonous, must also be tasty, since so many people have been eating it for many centuries. I would have tried it.
