Monday, officials showed off some guinea pig dishes, including the rodents fried, roasted and broiled. They also had a live pig dressed as Santa Claus.

Eeerrrpp.
Almost enough to turn me into a vegetarian. We’ve got so many wild turkeys around here that we could survive on them forever.
Pass on the guinea pig. Thanks, but no thanks.

Florida should export thousands of Nutria to Peru. It would be like having a roast turkey instead of squab. They weigh anywhere from 11-20 pounds, and the Peruvians would probably love Cajun style Nutria.

I bet those things are tasty! Roast up a dozen or four and you can have a whole meal!

NOT much meat on a Guinea pig. Not enough for one person.

In Mexico guinea pigs are called “cuyo” and they are very tasty. I have never eaten one with the head or feet still attached, but I don’t like to eat fish with the head attached, either.

Isn’t guinea pig supposed to put lead-in-your-pencil, or am I thinking of something else. Just thinking.

They take guinea pig raising as seriously in Peru as turkey raising is taken here. Peru has a very poor population and this is a staple in their diet. I think it’s great that they are taking an active interest in feeding their population rather than waiting for handouts from the UN like so many other poor countries.

Dear Santa, this is Billy from Dallas. I would like a big wheel with the air conditioning package, power steering, cd player, and also a Sony Playstation.
Dear Santa, this is Raul from Venezuela. I want a stick! To burn for heat!
Dear Santa, this is Jessica from Aspen. I'd like a Barbie Dreamhouse with the electric sports car, lots of outfits and matching outfits for me too please.
Dear Santa this is Loupay from Paraguay. I want some rain. So I can stop drinking my own urine...
