Captain Chaoss Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 wrap with bacaon, secure with a toothpick, and they make a great Hors' derve. (spelling?) great for fondue parties too I hear. Can you re-heat them in the microwave, or just eat them fresh from the cache ? Quote Link to comment

Ok, I'll revise. I like reptiles and don't want to deny them their natural dinner. Revision: Cute rodents are not people food, even for reptilian people! Quote Link to comment

Hmmm..... small furry rodents.... Tasty! The only problem is that they're so dang small.... lots of little bones. That and it takes like, forty or so to feed even a small group of people. Though I do have some questions: Where would you get a pikachu, and how do you prepare it? Bake? Boil? Roast? Quote Link to comment

tubby and Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 "For more than 25 years, Lilia Chauca and her team of researchers at the National Institute of Agrarian Investigation have worked to breed faster growing, plumper, tastier guinea pigs. She was cited as saying that Peruvians eat 65 million guinea pigs each year. In Peru, the rodent's birthplace, guinea pigs remain a vital source of protein in rural communities, a mainstay of Andean folk medicine and a religious sacrifice to the gods."

+aka Monkey Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 (edited) A recipe for Cuy (Guinea Pig): For 2-3 large animals; serves 4-6 2 red onions, chopped 4 cloves of garlic, chopped 2 tsp cumin 1 tsp white pepper 2 tsp of salt 2 tablespoons water 2 tablespoons oil annatto (for coloring) Mix ingredients well and spread over the inside and outside of the animal. Allow to marinate for up to one day to allow flavors to meld. Before roasting, remove excess marinade to avoid scalding. The spit should be inserted into the back part of the animal and exit from the jaw. Once on the stick, tie the front and back feet, stretching out the legs. Put on grill, turning manually. Continue to apply lard to the skin to avoid drying out the meat. The cuy is ready when the skin is close to bursting. Serve with boiled potatoes sprinkled with coriander, chilies, and the following peanut sauce. If your community is especially progressive, rice may be substituted for the potatoes. Peanut Dipping Sauce 2 tablespoons lard annatto coloring 2 white onions, chopped 2 cloves garlic salt pinch of cumin 1 large cup of roasted and ground coffee with peanuts 3 ½ cups milk Fry onions until golden brown, then add other ingredients. Cook at low heat for at least half an hour. Adapted from: Guinea Pigs: Food, Symbol and Conflict of Knowledge in Ecuador by Eduardo P. Archetti, pg 61-2.
