Karen,

LOL!!

I don't really think it's disgusting or anything, although I personally wouldn't eat a guinea pig.

guinea pig is not something i would like to see on my dinner table but everyone likes diferent things!! I myself like rabbit meat, even though i own a rabbit!! not that i could ever eat Buttercup!! Just like I like chicken and own 21 of them!! they will not be eaten!! but that dosent stop me from buying it at the grocery store! I also like turtle soup and have two turtles!! just as long as nonone tries to eat my critters I dont care!! But if you have that hungry look in your eyes looking at my critters you will be staring down the barrel of my 12 guage shotgun!!!

Isnt it like eating chickens or any meat?


I wouldn't even try eating a Guinea Pig but still.. I think its the same as any meat.

That is how guinea pigs got to Europe originally- explorers that visited South America brought some back as a food source. AND rumored how they got their name- as they made noises that reminded them of pigs and they were sold for a guinea (a coin). Someone thought they were cute and made theirs a pet instead of eating it- smart person!

Lots of things that we see as pets are eaten in foriegn countries- dogs being the most obvious.

In my opinion, I would not want to eat a guinea pig. I don't dislike people who do though, it's just a part of their culture and food. Just curious, anyone here like lamb? I seem to be the only person around who likes it in the real world lol, and my family can't imagine why I would eat a lamb. I think lambs are adorable, but they are also good food!

Haha Karen I laughed out loud!

I wouldn't eat one but as was said before, different strokes for different folks. Other countries might think the things we eat in the western world are weird too!
