I couldn't personally speaking, but apparently eating roasted or fried guinea pig is an ancient tradition in parts of South America, and still common today. But in other parts of the world the rodents are cherished as cuddly, fluffy pals for children. How do you make the mental leap from cute pet to delicious meal? (msn) grin

I expected outrage from pet lovers everywhere but seems people are more open minded to the possibilities of trying something new or different from the norm. Guinea Pig with chips and a curry sauce anyone? Cheers all! wine

I find lambs very sweet and cute looking. Doesn't stop me eating them. I was once at a farm in the middle of nowhere when they butchered a pig. Its' squeals as they killed it were tear inducingly sad. I still helped them to eat it. As already mentioned. Rabbits are sweet and fluffy. Sweeter and fluffier than Guinea pigs. I still eat them. Snails. They're not sweet and cuddly, but they are pretty harmless. I've eaten them too. And frogs. Sole, those funny looking flat fish that live on the bottom of the sea, harming no-one. I ate one of those this week. Horses. Lovely animals. I've eaten them. Cows are sacred to a billion people. Not sacred enough for me to not eat them.

I'd eat guinea pigs too. If I didn't, all the dead souls of the lambs, pigs, rabbits, snails, frogs, sole, horses and cows could turn around and say to me: "Hey you ate all of us without a moments thought for our suffering. It's not fair that you spare this guinea pig now." They'd be right.

Dam. Good sport! ;)

Hayley, Would that be Tescos Finest range? ;)

HIM, Hamster? Well, ok. Invite us round to your place so we can try it with that ketchup, salad cream and worcester sauce dip you make!

Squirrel? Wonder what it tastes like with some home made welsh recipes like mushroom pate!

Twazzle, Apple pie and custard? Sounds good ;)

Lint, Quite a culinary list there? Frogs and snails? Yum yum!

Mart, Abit like chicken, not convinced but can't knock it if haven't tried it lol

Sail, Do you mean they like poor little Kangas too ;)

Cheers all! You see this is what I like about the UK forums and some of the members who post. GSOH and a nice bunch often overlooked by big brother USA. because we must play follow the leader. HIM that may do the trick?

Probably not, no. But then it depends on circumstances. If I was shipwrecked on a desert island and had had nothing to eat for three weeks, say, then it may be different. If it was dead, all the better. I would definitely not be keen on killing anything but, there again........ desperation and survival, who knows.

pizza <---- oops, sorry! grin
