Today, on the main page on Yahoo, I saw a headline for an article about a guinea pig festival in Peru. I read the article and saw the accompanying photos. The purpose of the festival is to dress up live guinea pigs in costumes, and to eat dead guinea pigs. The guinea pigs are not kept as pets, but are served as food.
I would never eat guinea pigs. I keep guinea pigs as pets, and I think it's kind of gross to eat guinea pigs. Perhaps that's a cultural thing, though.
Has anyone actually eaten guinea pigs? If you haven't, would you?
