I once got some Guinea Pig in a resturant in Ecuador its a common enough dish there and I tought well "while in Rome......".
I had a notion that it would be some sort of a stew with some bits of guinea pig floating around that would probably taste just like chicken but when my plated arrived there was just this poor little disembowelled hamster lying on the broad of his back with four legs in the air, his fur scorched with his little beady eyes still open looking at me like he was pleading "don't eat me, I'm too cute to eat." with a portion of rice. I was right about one thing though, it did taste like chicken. BTW the other local delicacy is "Chicken claw" soup.
