Cui Pictures

The raw and the terrible

The crunchy feet

A delicious supper

Here are a few lovely pictures of a classic and gourmet cuisine here
in Ecuador... Cui. Or, more commonly known as guinea pig. Giovani and
his family invited Claudia and Paolla and I over to their house for
supper, and I got to see the whole cooking process. They put the cui
on a big thick stick and slow-roasted it over charcoal for about 45
minutes. I didn´t know what to expect taste-wise, but it was actually
very good... something like tough chicken with a slightly different
aftertaste. And the feet were crunchy.
