Rabbits are eaten here. Why not guinea pigs there?
The dish is called "cooie" ... I'm sure that is not how it spelled, but that's how it sounds.
My brother and sister have both traveled extensively in Peru, and eaten it many times.
I wouldn't personally eat it, unless I had no choice, but I don't eat rabbits or Cornish game hens either .... I don't like to eat little animals, don't ask me why. A chicken is the smallest thing I'll eat.
I honestly do not see why people in this country get so up in arms about what people in other countries eat. An animal is an animal is an animal. You'll eat a chicken, but not a guinea pig? What's the difference? Because one is "cuter", to you, it's not ok for someone else to eat? I so don't understand that logic. It's truly none of our business.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
