Well found this challenge cruising the YouTubes . Guys are raising guinea pigs as for grazing down there orchard...which is already is kinda nuts but they also went to raise them for meat....it's .... interesting I guess

Heck, I'm game.

I noticed that dude was wearing his safety glasses when he took a bite. He must know something.

Think id just have issues getting over the whole ideas there supposed to be pets first lol other then that they seem it would be a out like cooking and eating squirrel ?

Cuey !!

Wife visited Peru and Galapagos and ate one cooked on a stick.

There's several Peruvian restaurants, relatively near me, that serve guinea pig. I occasionally cull buy guinea pigs at $1.50 a pound, like I do rabbit. I bought a little over 84 pounds at once, once. I have not eaten guinea pig yet, but would.

Incinerates them in an air fryer and then wonders why they are tough...

…. That’s some chinaman nonsense right there

You just aren't hungry enough yet. Can't be much different than squirrel or rabbit.

My brother and his wife ate guinea pig on one of their south American trips. Think its considered regular thing dow there.

There pigs, I love pork

yeah, it's a Peruvian thing, they're wild there... hey they eat grass and forbs, nothing more than a short eared rabbit!

My dogs wouldn't tolerate those things trying to graze my yard, guess i'll just have to eat steak, bummer.

Their OK but the bacon is so small.

Big in South or Central America I think?

Restaurant here in town got popped a few years ago for selling guinea pig meat. Can't remember if they were raising them or just selling the meat.

You can find Cuy in the finest restaurants in Quito. There's not much meat on them but what's there is delicious.

On a side note, my dad was in the altiplano of Peru after the big earthquake of '72 on a relief mission. He took some pictures during a party at night in some peoples houses and after developing them back in the states the flash caught dozens of pairs of little eyes under beds and tables and such. Indigenous Peruvians raise them right in their living quarters free range.

Id eat one if you got to pick it out of the tank like a lobster.

I’d rather eat the American Guinea hog, more meat per bite.

Here is what I'd rather eat: The one in the middle in particular...about three times more meat than a big guinea pig with a fatty rind like a pig but sweet delicate meat like combo of pork or turkey. Sells for about $5/lb in Ecuador these days. Totally illegal of course.
