Food Friday


         A traditional dish in Ecuador is guinea pig or cuy in spanish. The guinea pig will commonly be deep fried, grilled, and almost always cooked whole. It is tradition to eat the whole thing. For wedding presents, one of the most coveted is a mating pair of guinea pigs. Although it may seem bizarre, guinea pig is actually more efficient to produce for consumption than beef is. Guinea pigs are environmentally healthy. The ecuadorians always eat beetle larvae and soup made from bull genitalia.
