August 22, 2008: Guinea Pig Festival
 

Every time a picture of a cute critter is posted, you sickos turn the thread into a recipe swap.

Hah! The Telegraph has pictures of the ladies of Huacho, Peru, that are way ahead of you pikers.

At their annual Guinea Pig Festival, the ladies have Guinea Pigs....

Damn, they look so much like that weiner dog/sweet potato we just had!

They're not dressing much different, just wider brimmed hats

Is that what happened to Dramatic Groundhog?!?!

:eek:

Man, is this the first IotD where all the food jokes are already illustrated and documented?

but for some reason it has made me hungrier than most i have read.

now, are those chunks of cheese or butter on top? (just helps me know what kind of chile sauce to pour over the top.)

I have to say that I usually find the recipe swap rather humorous. But with pictures it's just not the same. :greenface

Eh...Rats is rats.

While in Otavalo, Ecuador a number of years ago, I ordered up the national delicacy of guinea pig. Can't say I would order it again.. there's not much meat on them, and it was kinda greasy.

Also a little creepy considering I used to have one as a pet as a child.

Dang! Is that what happens to the loser of the beauty contest? If so, it would explain the worried expressions on those two guinea pigs in the first photo.

They had these guinea pig eating people on a travel show here recently.

I don't think I could eat a guinea pig. It just seems too much like rat to me.

Maybe we should extend the policy to the Miss America Pageant:D.

Miss Texas - BBQ sauce
Miss Hawaii - Pineapple Glaze
Miss California - vegetarians get a free pass. It's karma.

I can hear my mommy even now: Quit playing with your food!

that first pic would make some great LOL or ORLY pics.

i never heard of carnivorous guinea pigs--must be larger than the usual sized pigs... :eyebrow:
