Guinea Pigs as Protein
 

I recently talked to my girlfriend's father. He was a child during the German occupation of France. He told me that his family kept Guinea pigs to eat. I asked why not rabbits or fowl, as they are tastier and reproduce as much as fast. He replied that the Germans would requisition all animals, and the guinea pigs were the only ones they would not want to ship to Germany.

Most of us have made preparations, but we have not taken into account that if we were to fall under a tough political regime, they would take everything useful from us. Just food for thought.

Skin, gut and wash some fat guinea pigs without removing their heads. Cover them in a pot with ethyl alcohol and marinate 2 hours. Cut a piece of salt pork or sowbelly into small dice and cook it slowly to extract the fat. Drain the guinea pigs, dredge them thoroughly in a mixture of flour, pepper, and salt, and fry slowly in the rendered fat for about 5 minutes. Add a cup of alcohol and 6 to 8 cloves, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Prepare a cream sauce, transfer the saut�ed guinea pigs to it, and warm them in it for about 10 minutes before serving.





6 corn tortillas
6 guinea pigs parboiled, stripped, boned, chopped, seasoned.
2-3 large red dried chiles soaked in water 5 min.
l chopped green onion,
cilantro for decorating.
oil
onions.
salt pepper to taste,

Make regular enchilada sauce by grinding the soaked chiles in the pot liquor, and straining well to separate the chile skin from the chile's red meat. Then, fry onions, throw sauce in for l minute. Set aside.

Heat tortillas on a greased skillet, drop into sauce until covered, pull out, then fill the sopping wet tortilla with about 2 tbsps. guinea-pig burger, roll. Set rolls in a dish, line all six up. Pour remaining sauce on top. Decorate with any old cheese, l chopped green onion. Bake l5 min at 350.








Take 4 potatoes, boil, mash, season, add cream, mash some more, line 8" pieshell with them.

Boil six medium sized guinea pigs. Guinea pigs are ok if you know what they've been eating. No Buick upholstery or graveyards.

If the rodents are the right size, you should have a cup of guinea pig meat (depending if you've cleaned the carcasses well enough.) Season with salt, pepper, cayenne, add l cup blanched, chopped almonds, l cup cracker crumbs, l egg, (reserve l tsp for topping) making a burger. OPTIONAL: bell pepper, onions, cilantro, parsley, thyme, oregano, l can creamed corn, l can of those crunchy chinese things, water chestnuts, chopped olives, a dash of catsup or tomato sauce.

Fill the pie. Cover with more potatoes. Use egg/cream to wipe down pie so it toasts brownish in oven.

TIP: when cooking rodents, pre-soaking up to 5 hours helps take away that pesky rodent flavor. AND the longer you cook it, with the other ingredients, the better the meat tastes

I've eaten lots of them breaded & fried.

Re: Guinea Pigs as Protein

Re: Guinea Pigs as Protein
 

If you don't/won't fight TPTB for what you have, you deserve what they hand you! You'll only take what I have from my cold dead fingers. More food for thought!

Re: Guinea Pigs as Protein
 

Trust me - there's a recipe for that too!

Re: Guinea Pigs as Protein
 

Yes of course, but if TPTB happens to use Wehrmacht methods... you know, you resist, they kill you and then they kill 10 innocent hostages for every soldier you kill.... that makes it think twice to resist. And the Germans were not the worst. In fact, as individuals they were fine. My girlfriends father told me that the local SS commander sent to the Russian front some of his soldiers that unleashed their dogs at kids that were playing. Worse were the Red Army or the Khmer Rouge.
By the way, I would choose resistance too....

Re: Guinea Pigs as Protein
 

For the moment I will pass on the Guinea rats.

Re: Guinea Pigs as Protein
 

Therse little critters were originally raised for food,I believe they were called "cavies".

The taste wasn't bad but not a flavor like chicken,pork or beef.

Re: Guinea Pigs as Protein
 

Remember the cases of rabbit starvation in centuries past. White men trying to live off the land died while the natives survived.

The difference? The natives ate the liver and the fatty organs of the rabbit while the white men threw them out.

Cavies are pretty much like rabbits. Eat the organs.

Having coughed up (literally) my only recipes for this thread - I figured I should cough this up too.........

Once upon a time there were three little Italian pigs. The straw pig, the stick pig and the brick pig.

One day this nasty old wolf came up to the straw pig's house and said, "I'm gonna huff and puff and blow your house down." And he did !!!

So the straw pig went running over to the stick pig's house and said, "Please let me in, the wolf just blew down my house." So the stick Pig let the straw pig in.

Just then the wolf showed up and said, "I'm gonna huff and puff and blow your house down." And he did !!!

So the straw pig and the stick pig went running over to the brick pig's house and said, "Let us in, let us in, the big bad wolf just blew our houses down!"
So the brick pig let them in just as the wolf showed up. The wolf said, "I'm gonna huff and puff and blow your house down." The straw pig and the stick pig were so scared! But the brick pig picked up the phone and made a call.

A few minutes passed and a big, black Caddy pulls up.

Out step two massive pigs in pin striped suits and fedora hats. These pigs come over to the wolf, grab him by the neck and beat the living crap out of him, then one of them pulled out a gun, stuck it in his mouth and fired, killing the wolf, then they got back into their Caddy and drove off.

The straw pig and stick pig were amazed!!! "Who the hell were those guys?" they asked.

"Those were my cousins... the Guinea Pigs

Re: Guinea Pigs as Protein
 

Guinea pigs can taste a little gamey, which is why they are quite suitable for a good pate'

Feed them into a blender holding their front paws, that way you can watch the expression on their little faces first. Serve with crackers and a nice red wine.

Re: Guinea Pigs as Protein
 

Told you I was gonna try it. and I did. Did it in a marinade for 24 hours and smoked it on the smoker for awhile. Aint eating anther one until TSHTF. Pretty damn nasty. :puke: Maybe you need to feed them a good diet for awhile. Time to drink and get ready for the A&M/ OK game

LATER

Re: Guinea Pigs as Protein
 

Maybe the feed was really bad.

Prepare them like they're chickens. Roast young ones and make soup from the elder pigs. I think marinading them and smoking them is really strange.

Re: Guinea Pigs as Protein
 

Ho boy here come the stories about the evil Germans. Gas chambers, mobile gassing vans, etc, skin lampshades, burning churches, footstools made out of pelvises, let's not forget what they allegedly did in ww 1 namely swinging Belgian babies like bats and smashing their heads. :banghead:

I have heard more lies about German soldiers in my life, especially during my excessively long education, while all the commie professors liked to prattle on about these ridiculous and impossible stories. Dont get me started on these lies! :musicus:

Re: Guinea Pigs as Protein
 

Not going to argue with you about this cause you are going to believe what you want - but back in the early 60's I lived in Germany and had Germans there tell me similar stories about both what they went thru and what was done during the Holocaust.

I doubt they all lied - especially about their own guilt over that.

Re: Guinea Pigs as Protein
 

But Master Ho if this is not argument what is?

You suggest that I form my opinions not on reason and facts but emotion. I wonder how you know me so well that you confidently state this.

Quote:

Shall I just accept this blanket statement from you to cease my critical thinking over the "holocaust" or shall I ask a few questions, like,
-- who said what, and when, regarding what and when?
-- did they know these things from their own personal knowledge or were they also repeating heresay like you are?
-- What independently verifiable information would corroborate or disprove the particulars of their stories?

But since you believe that I form my opinions on emotion rather than reason, likely you will not choose to discuss this with me.

So, I will give the readers an example of how a first hand witness account of something can be repeated often in spite of how verifiably untrue it must be.

In the book La Nuit written by Jew Elie Weisel, he speaks of his childhood when he was at a famous concentration camp evacuated in advance of the Red offensive. Among other lurid atrocities, he talks of a big ditch dug and filled with kerosene, lighted, into which Jews were forced to jump. This was also reported by many others "which people doubt were all lying." It is the source of the word "Holocaust" which means burnt offering.

However in order to independently test the veracity of this story, I encourage anyone to try this experiment. Dig a ditch or small pit in the ground. Toss in a cup or gallon of kerosene. Then, strike a match and toss it in. Then report back here and tell us what kind of grand fire you had.

I dont know about you Master Ho but in my version of reality the gas soaks into the ground and doesnt make very much of a fire. I wonder if the soil is so different in Poland that this could have happened so differently.

Maybe the obvious fallaciousness of this well known fiction is why the Jews have tried to re-brand their atrocity stories "the Shoah" so that they are able to distract other critical thinkers from this and other obvious fictions and thus keep the reparation machine moving.

I'm sure there's plenty of Germans who removed Jews from German living spaces and feel bad about that. Plenty of Germans who worked in forced labor facilities etc. Conscientious people who feel bad about the poor Jews.

I too have known a few modern day Germans and they are champions of self-hate and loathing. It's sad that some of the best people of Europe have been laid so low. I feel the same about these pathetic east coast WASP liberals always wrining their soft hands over slavery. Boo hoo.

I wonder if the Jews who tossed the 700,000 Palestinians out on their ears in 1947-1949 feel so bad about their ethnic cleansing. What do you think Master Ho?
