A delicacy in Peru is cuy (guinea pig) meat. They're called cuy for the sounds they make ("cuy cuy") Cuy was a staple of the traditional Inca diet.
It's generally cooked and served with the head still attached. Restaurants will cut it up for you, though.
So... would you eat it?
I plan on trying it when I'm there, but it's hard to wrap my head around the idea of eating a "pet" animal
