It must be an acquired taste......<br /><br />Truthfully, though, it's common in rural Peru to have very little protein at meals, mostly potatoes, quinoa, and corn ~ very little meat is served. These little guys, then, become a bigger deal in that light......and it's understandable that they are served at special occasions, like birthdays and weddings. Most countries (unlike us in the US) eat what they have at hand, because......that's all they have to eat. It's a sobering thought. Especially after you've just tasted your first Cuy.PassportEnvy.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06831107530712154438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037373503054020753.post-20452801618609808052015-05-28T13:44:43.588-06:002015-05-28T13:44:43.588-06:00No Janie, this was not our cooking school; we didn...No Janie, this was not our cooking school; we didn't think anyone would come to our International Dinner if this was on the menu!

I really had to do it, but.......I kept finding a reason to put it off. "We'll wait til we're in Cusco (@ the end of our trip)": Or "I'm really hungry tonight and this restaurant is known for their Lomo Saltada"; Or "I hate to waste a fine dining experience on a Guinea Pig!". Any excuse was a good one. Had to brave it out, though, otherwise.......I would always wonder if I missed out on something fantastic.
