SC - Guinea Pigs?

[Valkyrie de Minato Neshoba]

<FontFamily><param>Times New Roman</param><bigger>Guinea Pigs?  Like the ones kids have as pets?

I always wondered if they were edible...is there very much flesh? 
Is there a meat flavor similar?  (Please don't say chicken!) 

Just curious here.

Thanks

Val

<paraindent><param>left</param>Maybe you could do them like the Incas did Guinea Pigs? Wrap 
them in clay 
and 
put them in the embers, When the clay's baked you crack it and 
eat the meat 
off the inside of the skin, the clay holds the hair.

Interesting. The only recipe I have for native use of guinea pigs is for a 
casserole in which you carve the guinea pig into 2 inch squares and 
carefully 
lay the globs of flesh across the top of the casserole hair side up. After 
roasting you pick up the meat by the hair and suck the flesh from 
underneath 
discarding the hair and skin.... 

Do you have anymore information on the technique you describe?
