In the metro today I saw a story that will horrify many of you animal loving types.

Somewhere in Peru, they have a festival celebrating the wonders of Guinea Pigs – they dress them up in cute little outfits with crowns and things and generally have a good time

The catering is interesting as well. Roasted and fried Guinea Pig is available in great profusion. Although one of the vendors decided that this year they would cut off the guins head and claws to make it less recognisable to foreign visitors and cause less upset. Like the stall next door wouldn’t give the game away.

I know some of you Guinea fanciers will be going “ooh how could they!” but let me ask you this – What if they were chickens? Chickens being dressed up at a festival where roast chicken was being served? Hmmm. don’t sound so bad now does it.
And you vegetarians can shut up right now! I am not talking to you. ;)

Personally, I would try a bit of roast GP just to see what it tasted like.

Well the way this credit crunch malarkey is going we may all need to widen our potential diet base.
