[net.pets] peruvian recipies wanted

bandy@lll-crg.UUCP (Andrew Scott Beals) (09/05/85)

Hi there folks - last night at dinner we were talking about Peruvian
recipes and realized that none of our cookbooks had recipies for guinea
pigs in them. We all thought that this was rather odd as given the
exercise that these fat (but cute!) little beasties get and the good
diet that they eat, they ought to be quite tasty. Perhaps with a good
spinach and nutmeg garnish?

Does anyone have any recipes for guinea pig?

Check out the old version of the Joy of Cooking.  Use guinea pigs much
the same way you would squirrel, rabbit, or cat.  BTW, my wife & I 
received a big surprise one time in Gainesville, FL.  We were by the
art museum, near the pond, and heard a gread deal of rustling in the 
bushes.  What should appear but a long-haired golden hamster!  It seems
they were released by some experimenters who had done their thing and
run out of support money for the lab animals.  They thrived under the 
azelia & palmetto bushes and now have a sizable population.  SO the next
time you want to go hunting, remember to set your sights low and bag
an exotic rodent - the head will look great mounted in the hallway and 
the rest will grace your board!
