SC - Guinea pigs

[ND Wederstrandt]

There was a recent special on PBS about how the Aztecs and Mayans made
stone walls.  During the show, the narrator stopped for lunch and this
Peruvian woman handed him guinea pig on a spit.  They included scenes of
her cleaning and roasting said rodent over a small wood fire.  The woman
with the narrator had never eaten it but the man was busy chomping down.
The animal is cleaned skinned and stretched out over sticks and grilled.
Pretty interesting.  Also those cute little Chiquaquas dogs (sorry about
the spelling) were originally raised for food.
