A Peruvian delicacy

[–]jollygreendalegiant 30 points31 points ago

I've actually had guinea pig in Peru... not very tasty.

[–]rprebel 8 points9 points ago

Seconded.

[–]Gento_Harfoot 2 points3 points ago

thirded, cuy's are very different from guinea pigs, we eat them in Colombia too, never tasted a guinea pig, when you eat cuy it doesn't soundweird anyhow...

[–]chuperamigo 1 point2 points ago

Didn't try it wrapped in bacon, obviously.

[–]JCXtreme 1 point2 points ago

Bacon can be applied to anything to make it taste good. When judging if a food is good or not, you should try it without bacon. If you used it with bacon, it will taste amazing by default.

Source: I love bacon.

[–]ktappe 6 points7 points ago

Disagree. I liked the cuy I had down in Peru. Would recommend.

[–]tgiaccone 0 points1 point ago

You can get it in southern Colombia too.

[–]sheepcounter 0 points1 point ago

It's not always on the menu, but many Chinese restaurants in the U.S. will serve cream of sum yung cuy upon request.

[–]tgiaccone 0 points1 point ago

That got a good hearty laugh. hmm, I wonder if campbell's does a hearty soup version.

[–]matapuwili -1 points0 points ago

Loved the cuy. Chewy skin, dark meat like duck but without the grease. Now I occasionally pick one up on craigslist.

[–]lantham 9 points10 points ago

Ehh. Add alittle bit of sour cream and you'll never notice the difference.

[–]blacknight75 13 points14 points ago

What difference?

[–]D3ADB0LT 7 points8 points ago

Oh, Hi. So How are you holding up? BECAUSE I'M A POTATO!

[–]RockinTheKevbot 1 point2 points ago

I dont know why this made me laugh but it did...

[–]rabbischmooleyishot 4 points5 points ago

And in case you wondered what it looked like before and after. From my menu in Aguas Calientes. I particularly like the hand drawn smiley face. Menu

[–]zantopper 5 points6 points ago

It's always good to know that your food was happy - nay, downright exuberant!

[–]rabbischmooleyishot 1 point2 points ago

It sooooooooooo didn't taste like chicken

[–]Jonesgrieves 0 points1 point ago

Tasted like rabbit when I ate some. Not bad, just not a lot of meat.

[–]waazaa 0 points1 point ago

but rabbit also tastes like chicken

[–]RockinTheKevbot 1 point2 points ago

Have you ever wondered why it is that everything tastes like chicken?

[–]Fistocuffs 0 points1 point ago

maybe chicken doesn't actually taste like chicken?

[–]RockinTheKevbot 0 points1 point ago

have you ever had tasty wheat?

[–]Chinook700 0 points1 point ago

no?

[–]cuterthancake 2 points3 points ago

don't you mean....New Guinea? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

[–]J_Kenji_Lopez-Alt 0 points1 point ago

I wouldn't want to be the first one to try it.

Reddit needed this the same way the world needed a poptart cat with rainbows behind it as it shoots through space singing NYANYANYANYAN!!!

[–]Zombie_Lover 1 point2 points ago

Bunny, pancake, enough said.

[–]bjjhokie 0 points1 point ago

That is the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture.

[–]Inceptionist2 0 points1 point ago

This should be a meme

[–]Inceptionist2 0 points1 point ago

Sir... tips hat Well done

[–]FreeDirt 1 point2 points ago

But but look how CUTEEE it is!

[–]Inceptionist2 1 point2 points ago

Yes it is!! :D

[–]Correlations -2 points-1 points ago

So good.

[–]druminor 83 points84 points ago

please don't mix my "aww, cute" reflex with my "yummy food" reflex. It will end in tears and me being banned from the pet store.

[–]Aj45 13 points14 points ago

It happens to the best of us.

[–]levi_spinny[S] 14 points15 points ago

I just got a weird mental image of an r/petloss pic :(.

Oh god why did I go there.

My face is going to get pruny.

Gummy bears and Swedish fish ruined my life

This is where the Reddit love of POTATO_IN_MY_ANUS goes horribly, horribly wrong.

DEAR GOD NO

[–]ma582 21 points22 points ago

That is clearly a baked potato disguised as a guinea pig

[–]Illivah 1 point2 points ago

exactly what I was thinking - where is the guinea pig?

[–]SwaQOverlobe 25 points26 points ago

Pretty sure that's real butter that you placed on your guinea pig..

[–]Thankful_Lez 8 points9 points ago

Yeah, I thought it was a Starburst, but then I looked again and it wasn't a perfect square, so I think you're right. Weird. But it did make me literally lol.

[–]lionheartednyhc 8 points9 points ago

It's real tinfoil too.

[–]White_Luigi 0 points1 point ago

Aluminum, actually.

[–]gredders 4 points5 points ago

I can't believe it's not butter.

[–]KCbizzy 0 points1 point ago

No shit. Ya know how much sodium is already in those little bastards? Then adding butter?

[–]MacGeniusGuy 37 points38 points ago

I can count to guinea pig.

[–]FeelingGlad 14 points15 points ago

Oh great. Now I'm hungry.

[–]druminor 8 points9 points ago

guinea pigs are edible, though.

[–]orthag 11 points12 points ago

Everything is "edible." The question is if you should eat it or not.

[–]JMytgal 13 points14 points ago

Well, not everything....

[–]orthag 14 points15 points ago

I'm sure there is a fat man working on a way to do so.

[–]john4man 4 points5 points ago

Mmmm, I don't know about that

[–]soignees 2 points3 points ago

no one's made a Galactus joke yet?

[–]THEREFOREiEXIST 1 point2 points ago

He eats planets, not stars.

[–]Aikarus 0 points1 point ago

He is actually referring to Galactus's mother in law, Superclustera

[–]polysyllabist 1 point2 points ago

Everything we eat was at one point, part of a sun. So. You're wrong.

[–]JimmyGroove 1 point2 points ago

And with guinea pigs, the answer is "Yes." because they are super-delicious.

[–]Melforprezzz 10 points11 points ago

This isn't the guinea pig reddit deserves. This is the guinea pig reddit needs.

[–]Tohroe 6 points7 points ago

You know what? I worked hard today.

I do deserve this.

[–]omgbackoff 2 points3 points ago

IS THE BUTTER OKAY?

[–]Xanderoga 2 points3 points ago

Ha! Your baked potato guinea pig would go quite well with my turkey dinner guinea pig.

[–]gummers 5 points6 points ago

Disguise it as a mashed potato next.

[–]Shit_Shyamalan_Says 5 points6 points ago

The guinea pig was a baked potato all along.

[–]DrawYourthing 10 points11 points ago

[–]ftw37 5 points6 points ago

[–]orthag 3 points4 points ago

I like the lower one more. The one about looking like a buffalo. The potato brain one is good too.

[–]Smad3 1 point2 points ago

As a Chipotle burrito with butter on top. FTFY

[–]PandaBabii 1 point2 points ago

At least someone's guinea pig made it to the front page...

[–]Loanhighknight 1 point2 points ago

Aww, and it's not even our birthday! You're the best. Here's a dog disguised as a baguette.

[–]drunksaver 1 point2 points ago

Delicious and snuggly.

[–]thlayli_x 1 point2 points ago

I figured Reddit deserved something I saw posted on Facebook last weekend.

[–]makita69 1 point2 points ago

Ugh. I cant believe you would actually expose your precious pet to those harmful chemicals in the tin foil and don't you know fat is bad for guinea pigs?? what are you thinking putting butter on it?

this is r/aww for gods sakes how can you people let this go on!

[–]Flurryyea 1 point2 points ago

I'd NOMinate it as the cutest picture ever!

[–]Lord_Purple_ 3 points4 points ago

So... how'd it taste?

[–]Toovya 2 points3 points ago

Not sure if butter, or Post-its.

[–]jtyler998 3 points4 points ago

This is almost as funny as it was when Portlandia posted it to Facebook a few days ago.

[–]cmykenny 0 points1 point ago

[–]TheoQ99 1 point2 points ago

Someone who isn't trying to disguise the fact that they set up the shot, that deserves an upvote. Also, because that is one cute baked potato guinea pig.

I can tell that isn't a baked potato because the butter isn't melting.

This makes me hungry, but also, it doesn't?

Sophomore mistake: butter not melted. Back in the microwave for further warming (warning: don't put the foil in with it or you will electrocute the poor thing).

I was working at an Italian restaurant in Boston a few years ago, and one rainy night the whole avenue of restaurants was painfully devoid of customers. We were friends with the chef and staff of a restaurant across the street, a Peruvian-Italian yes you know where this is going fusion restaurant, and we'd pull favors for each other like sending over a bag of ice or a tin of olive oil when the other ran out. This particular night we sent them over some of our really stellar orecchiette for the kitchen and servers to enjoy. In return, one of their servers ran across the street in the rain, and delivered what appeared to be a single baked potato wrapped in tin foil. We were all pretty disappointed at having gotten a single baked potato in trade for our pasta, their food was awesome, until we opened up the tin foil and discovered a deep-fried guinea pig served whole. Thanks for reminding me of that night.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

My second cousin bought a guinea pig from a pet store just to eat it. They couldn't figure out the best way to kill it so he ended up strangling it...on his bed. Then they baked it. I swear to god. He overcooked it and said it was no good. I tell people this story just in case they remotely think he is a good person. He is just evil.

[–]Cristal1337 0 points1 point ago

Apparently Guinea Pigs are considered food in some places.

As much as I think these creatures are cute, I also would like to know how they taste like D=

Am I a bad person now?

[–]Blown4Six 1 point2 points ago

Not by any means, your interest has sparked mine...

"Peruvians consume an estimated 65 million guinea pigs each year, and the animal is so entrenched in the culture that one famous painting of the Last Supper in the main cathedral in Cusco shows Christ and the twelve disciples dining on guinea pig"

[–]tgiaccone 0 points1 point ago

Not at all. They taste very earthy, not bad. When I had mine the heart and liver were served over pop-corn and the cuy was tasty buy unlike anything I have eaten before.

http://www.giaccone.org/blog/2012/05/17/when-in-pasto-eat-the-cuy/
