Re: Eating Guinea Pigs The wife and I (at her suggestion surprisingly) have had roasted Guinea Pig while in Peru where it is considered a local delicacy. I believe they call it Cuy or something like that. Delicious! Reminded me of a mild pork roast or turkey/chicken leg meat. I should add that my daughter who had a pet while in university was jaw dropping stunned when we told her about it. ha ha. .

Re: Eating Guinea Pigs Thanks. Those critters with their squeaks get on my nerves. It's good to see there's a use for them.

Agree!! Once you get past the pet factor...(cute) Have had them in the past and they are good eating.

I'm surprised you're not getting more thanks. Someone had a signature that said something to the effect of "I learned on GIM that pets are a good way to store food for SHTF." I'm going to look into seeing if they are more productive to raise than rabbits. In the a SHTF scenario a few cages full of guinea pigs, rabbits or chickens may be worth more than a few gold coins. Also if there is a stigma to eating pets like guinea pigs, there would be less of a chance of getting a guinea pig stolen than a chicken. Finally, I haven't eaten one, but guinea pigs eat mainly grass (or store bought alfalfa pellets)-- it would be cheap to feed, higher in omega-3 fatty acids than grain fed animals, and tastier than pigs, chickens and other animals that scavenge and eat dead animals for food. I wish I could thank you a few more times. Great thread. Very informative and in it's proper place.

That is EXACTLY why GPs are better Rabits fight, bite and will eat their own young at times. GP's are much more laid back and quite docile........but that "fluffy factor" is the reall killer. You cant hang around them or they WILL grow on ya and forget about munching if the kids see them. T

Peruvians consume an estimated 65 million guinea pigs each year. It is a dining experience that normally requires two hands to pick scant, sinewy meat from a bony carcass � often with the head staring up from the plate.
I dunno, too much like eating a rat for my liking.

Based on their diet, a rabbit would be a better example. BTW a muskrat by far is the best wild game animal I've ever eaten followed close by a young beaver (The animal:36_1_30:). Both eat mainly fresh plants like the g. pigs.

Those things have always creeped me out. A dog-sized rodent, nice. IIRC there was a part of a TV doco about weird pets that had someone that kept these things as a pet. To each their own, I guess!

I had both at a wild game feed, but can't say that I really enjoyed either one. Both were served in some kind of sauce, kinda like BBQ beef. My rodent consumption begins and ends with rabbit.

As far as survival goes, at least a capybara is big enough to roast on a spit. I'm willing to try almost anything...ONCE... but I think I'd have a hard time eating a pet under any circumstance. R.

You are already out of preps GD. I give you one month on the MSG filled Mountain House and the like, and you'll be craving something fresh.

I don't understand this thinking. One of my biggest worries about SHTF is surviving on prepackage/dried/canned/crap food. I would gladly eat a freshly grilled, succulent guinea, pig seasoned with fresh herbs from my garden any day over a can of hormel chili that looks the same coming out as going in...

Re: Eating Guinea Pigs Some years back I planned out a vacation trip to Peru (I called it off because commie rebels started kidnapping tourists). If you travel anywhere outside of the major cities, the main two meats you find are chicken and guinea pig. -end-

According the Catholic church, capybaras are fish!! It's a lent thing ya know! Or so the legends go. And you wonder why they get confused about the whole evolution concept. But the capy's do look tasty I have to say. And they got some meat on 'em. I see myself having so scarf down at least a half dozen guinea pigs to sate myself. http://www.splendoroftruth.com/curtj...s/capybara.png

Re: Eating Guinea Pigs i guess this falls in the category of, what's a good survival food that you can raise yourself in limited space ? also, is it easy for you to get what it wants to eat ? i suppose guinea pigs are a good answer. since the guy has sold his wife on the idea, they can develop guinea pig cuisine. guinea pig omelettes, guinea pig quiche :coolbeer: there's one thing that didn't come through in the video, the SMELL factor. 30 guinea pigs generate a LOT of poop. if he doesn't clean the cage every day, STINK.
