A German bricklayer, who accused his girlfriend of liking her pet guinea pig more than him, killed the pet and turned it into a “romantic” dinner for two.

Lara Hochner, 23, from Darmstadt only found out what had happened when she went to her beloved pet Rudi after the candle-lit meal, to make sure he had enough food and water.

When she realised he was not there, her 29-year-old boyfriend Werner Brenner admitted that the couple had just eaten the animal.

No problemo.

"No problemo."

Good night.

Had barbequed tepezcuintle (paca) once in Guatemala, before they told me what it was. Best meal I had in-country. Heard it tasted like chicken but what I had tasted like filet mignon (you know how you get tired of Mexican food day in and day out). The armadillo was too gristly and was serve with a tomato sauce that really didn’t complement the meat.

Ewwwwww.

They aren’t screams, it’s more chirping and soft squealing.

There’s a French legend about a lady in...Baux, I think. Her husband killed her lover and served her the heart. Then when he told her what she’d eaten she jumped off a cliff.

They are on the menus in Peru. It is not an odd thing to eat.

Consider it like keeping a pig as a pet.

Pork, the meat of choice by muskies.

...unless they were the Olsen Twins.

WAY too funny.

Thanks. I almost said “...unless one was Karen Carpenter.”

The cruelty level of this man is on par with certain Nazi doctors that come to mind. He either is a narcissistic sociopath or mentally deficient. And that’s aside from evil. He didn’t come up with a solution to the attention problem; he created a life-long gruesome memory for the woman.

I am sure...but worse than that I bet he drives 80 km/hr in the left lane on the Autobahn!

Guinea Pig is best served with a fine Chianti

The Dali Lama would approve.

LOL!

Ours used to squeal and run back and forth in the enclosure when it knew we were bringing it food. It loved clover. We’d let it know by whistling at it, then it would squeal back.

“her 29-year-old boyfriend Werner Brenner admitted that the couple had just eaten the animal.”

That would be quite a call to Dr. Laura...

[Slings and Arrows]

Awww! They can be characters.

"They are best stewed in red wine with vegetables."

According to my brother who knows such things, any recipe that works with a cat will work with a hamster.
