Food

In Peru, Guinea Pigs are raised widely, and cared for with much respect.  They are fed Scotch Broom, which fattens them up for their ultimate use.  Yes, Guinea Pigs are eaten in Peru, and are considered a delicacy.  If you feel that you can handle seeing images of guinea pigs being raised, prepared, and eaten, check out the Guinea Pigs as Food page.  If not, look elsewhere for some spectacular images of this most beautiful country.
