In Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela we call that 'Curi'.
Its a bigger 'version 'of a guinea pig. Very tasty. Imagine chicken with the taste of well seasoned kobe beef (chicken'ish of course).
Hello from Trujillo, Peru. Off to Lima this evening and tomorrow morning to Arequipa, a very lovely city.
Cuy is a Quechua name. I've had it many times and something I look forward to when visiting Peru. It's a recognized delicacy here in Peru.
It's very very tasty. In fact I was thinking about stopping by PetsMart next week and picking up a couple of breeding pair.
That drink on the table is Inca Cola and tastes very good....almost like cream soda but better.
You would not believe this but just now while typing this I paused in the business center of this small hotel to ask a very sexy Peruvian lady about raising Cuy and now have a phone number.
