In fact, I found this article because I am looking for a place in the Atlanta area to try one. Did you know some people keep chickens and ducks as household pets? In my opinion: If you are not a vegetarian, then any animal can be food. I would try one in a heartbeat.

Each culture eats different foods and I personally think most German food is more unappealing to me than guinea pigs. The Anthony Bourdain show (I think, I've TiVoed a bunch of shows on Peru) featured roasted alpaca meat and the numerous cafes in Lima where you can try ceviche. It all looked and sounded wonderfully yummy! Going to Peru at the end of the month and looking forward to trying cuy.

At least I value my opinion - and when I was an omnivore I didn't distinguish between "cuteness" and tastiness. Aw, Robin, I was an omnivore for 45 years, doesn’t that account for something?

Not sure how much I value the opinion of a vegetarian on this matter. Not wanting to eat something you’d consider a pet is perfectly reasonable, given the availability of alternatives.

It really makes no sense that Americans are so discriminating when it comes to what animals they will eat. If you'll eat a pig, why not a dog, or a horse, a cat, or a guinea pig? All animals are considered food for the carnivore/omnivore, why distinguish between them, why keep some as pets and not others, and why only eat a small handful of species raised on industrialized farms? On an episode of the Travel Channel's "No Reservations" Tony Bourdain visited a family home while in Peru - these people kept a group of guinea pigs inside, and when hungry would take one or two out to cook up on the grill. Why not? Me? I'm a vegetarian. I think if you’re a carnivore you should develop a taste for all animals.
