Peruvian cuisine thread?

>>17360425
they cute

>>17360425
Eh, I've had cuy before, but it's nothing marvellous like some people pretend. It's on par with squab in terms of "semi-poverty food sold to tourists trying to act adventurous". It's mild, but the meat-to-effort ratio is not good enough to make it a staple.

>>17360426
It’s time. You can tell how much Peruvian food pisses off tastelets by this chart.

If they taste good and have enough meat on them, sure. I used to have a couple as pets, those fuckers can get fairly big. Used to take them outside to eat clovers in my front lawn.

The kinds of people who bitch about globalists and vegans are too scared to get their food from anywhere except a drive-thru. Their rage over food politics is a manifestation of their picky eater baby palate, the idea of having something that isn't the same happy meal they eat every day is terrifying to them and causes them distress the likes of which normies cannot possibly imagine.

>>17360440

Fucking Perfuvian savages need to be skinned alive and roasted. Maybe then they'll earn eating animals is morally wrong.

I would feed them to my girlfriend whole and rub her belly while they squirm around in it.

Chickens are cute but I can't say I feel bad eating them. We all live and die for a different reason. To die for the good of another is the best death possible and in that sense, eating an animal honors them a death better than a huge majority of people can possibly hope for.

so the japs are picky eaters, i am shocked. who would have expected this from a nation of autistic pedophiles

>>17360425
Yes, I'm thinking about it right now. Nobody locally has the big breed. I want to farm then before the hunger of 2022 arrives.

Can I wrap one in foil like a baked potato?

>>17360425
>tasty lean
oxymoron

Those things aren’t as cute but they’re also quite tasty and take almost no space to raise.

Rabbits and guineas are much cleaner than chickens.

my mom is peruvian and apparently when i was young my guinea pig pet was handed off to my uncle and he ate it. I am utterly horrified and hate my uncle. I haven’t spoken to him since.

>>17360996
>>17360425
not to mention how fucking disgusting peruvian food is. Majority of the time I get diarrhea from eating my moms cooking. And for some reason she likes it even though she probably gets diarrhea from it too.

I knew some Peruvians in the US. Their son was a drug addict scammer and the family refused to believe you could flush toilet paper.

>>17360445
Wrong. I’m from Southeast Asia and I eat literally everything. It’s western liberal faggots who think we’d rather eat the bugs over meat and that it’s somehow better for them. It’s not. I appreciate offal and exotic meats as well as bees and seahorses (as medicine). We’d be unhappy too if that gets taken away from us. I want you to have access to what your parents ate and I want to eat what my parents ate, and continue to do the bantz with foreigners criticising each other’s cuisine. If we all had the same bugmeal nutraloaf we lose our cultures and souls. Guinea pigs are a solution, you get to keep some white meat.

>>17360425

Are they similar to rabbits taste wise? I was never interested in raising rabbits as small livestock since I am not a fan if the meat compared to chicken.

I don’t mess with the rhino horn pangolin scales stuff. Boiled bees are unironically great cough medicine

>>17360437
No, I like squab but cuy is just a not-as-good rabbit. Squab has its own unique flavour unlike other bird meats I've had while cuy just tastes like a shittier version of rabbit.

>>17362210
Can’t be worse than water-injected mass produced chicken now can it. To be fair I’ve never tried cuy

>>17362285
It's not bad, mind you, just not as good as rabbit.

>>17362124
There is literally no medical benefit to eating bees. The honey and honeycomb would work as a better cough medicine. Plus we have this crazy shit now that's synthesized and proven effective in the reduction of coughing as well as pain relief. For fucks sake opium can be used as cough medicine and you moon men have had that for thousands of years. What's the point in eating boiled bees for a cough when you can just take a spoonful of tussin and get on with your day

>>17361201
no they are so cute tho
>>17361514
i had mine as a pet and he was always trying to run around too much. was always hard to pick him up and i always cried cause he kept jumping off my arm and hurting himself.

>>17360437
Said it better than I was about to.
I guess the benefit is they're quieter than chickens so maybe easier for some people to raise.
I love rabbits as pets, and I wouldn't do it unless it was my only option for meat but no judgement on people that do.

>>17362326
bees are natural. I'm not drinking chemical shit

>>17362326
>chinks had opium on hand for 1000 years
The brits brought opium into China a little over 200 years ago.

>>17362626
I'm was exaggerating but you're absolutely wrong and have a weird idea of what the opium wars were. Opium has been verifiably used in China since the tang dynasty. England wasn't even really a nation then

>>17362484
There is literally no difference between a chemical found in nature and the same chemical made in a lab, you chink retard
>t. chemist

hassle to process, unless i could roast it whole and peel off the meat

So would you just roast on a fire to burn the hair off and get crispy skin or skin them?

I’ve eaten them in Ecuador and they were okay. Nothing amazing but maybe I could have had them prepared better.

I’d raise and eat them if I had to because they are palatable and would be easy to raise. I would have no problem killing them and I don’t see them as pets. When I had a borzoi I used to take it really early in the morning to a field where there was a lot of rabbits and he would kill at least one or two every week, it was fun to watch and he really loved it so I would have no problem killing one of these things myself.

>>17360425

I had a wonderful guinea pig who lived for 9 1/2 years. Dad grew to love her, and was the one who would feed her nightly in the middle of her life. About a year in, since she was my idea, I took up the weekly cage cleaning and did it steadfastly even during the middle of her life when I didn't play with her much. At 8 years she had a strawberry-sized tumor flop out of her hoo-hah and I thought sure we'd have to put her down, but they snipped it off and she lived another year and a half. When she died we buried her under the bush in the backyard.

Better that every Peruvian be killed and eaten for their own flesh than that a single cavy be eaten. The cavy is a noble animal. R.I.P., Quark.

I'd RATHER KILL PERUVIANS THAN A PIG,
YES I WOULD, IF I ONLY COULD
I SURELY WOULD

IF I COULD FREE THEM FROM THEIR CAGE
THEY WON'T AGE
THEY'LL EAT SOME SAGE

SOME PARSLEY, CELERY AS WELL
CARROTS TOO, STAND ON TWO
NO ONE EATS YOU, OO-OOOH...

i would not because i had one as a pet and they are too freaking cute... but i am under no illusions.. if i had a "pet" chicken or pig i probably wouldnt eat chicken or pig either..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YugnnpJdt2Q

>>17361363
apparently they either taste like chicken with more crispier skin or
"tastes like a cross between duck and rabbit. When properly prepared, the meat of a guinea pig is rich, fatty, and flavorful, while the skin, when roasted over a hot fire, gives pork crackling a run for its money." and you have to eat them with your hands because there is soo much bones to it

the family proceeded to cook around 50 of these rodents. spit roasted with uncle charro working the firepit. they had a interesting baste of oregano-garlic-lime orange juice like a mojo and the meat was like pork chicken. the mojo flavors and salsas basically drowned the rodents gameyness.

>>17360743

>Flips have some of the worst food
>Flips also eat everything and like it
sounds about right

>>17362298
Yeah, but YouGov is notorious for asking vague or misleading questions and genuinely misrepresenting their data for memery. Like that British food chart where when you look at the actual data, most respondents hadn't even tried most of the dishes and that was considered a "negative response".

>>17362304
I fucking love squab. I used to eat it at least once a month thanks to my Chinese grandparents. Maybe they killed the pigeons outside for it, but god DAMN was it tasty.

>>17361810
This, plus they lay eggs as well so more efficient. You can eat the smallest males and the females with low egg output, breeding a productive genetic line. They also eat just about anything and their poop is great fertilizer.
People who keep them in cages are not only cruel, but also wasteful. Chickens should be allowed to roam on compost heaps during the day, and sleep in hen houses at night. They'll eat food scraps and grubs from the heap and add rich fertilizer in return.

>>17360722
God these things are fucking useless, aren't they? They're like tribbles, just fur and meat and sex organs

>>17363478
You can literally keep cavies in an apartment. Same for pigeons
Chickens need a backyard at least and they're banned in lots of places

>>17363482
>friendly
>cute
>tasty
not useless!

>>17363482
>>17363486
Hilariously, one of the most important purposes rodents serve in ecosystems is being eaten.

>>17363484
>cavies
No eggs.
>pigeons
Are their eggs any good to eat? Also their natural behaviour involves long distance flying, so I would feel cruel keeping them in an apartment.
>Chickens need a backyard
Not a very big one. You could probably keep a few on a large balcony and bring them indoors to sleep. They are also highly efficient food factories, giving you meat, eggs and fertilizer in one little feathery package.

>>17363544
>no eggs
Yes that's true I suppose
>pigeons
Yeah, their eggs are good to eat but they don't go far. They're like small quail eggs.
Anyways, keeping pigeons in a large cage in an apartment or on an apartment balcony is no less unnatural than keeping chickens in a backyard with a coop.
>chickens... on a large balcony
No way

>>17361029
...anon everybody flushes toilet paper

And rabbit isn't great either. Its just a dry lean version of chicken.

>>17360437
>>17362210
>>17362285
I mean, you could breed Cuy to be larger and for more meat. They are an ideal animal for that. They eat anything, their poop is easy to use 'hot' for fertilizer, and they are easy to slaughter/raise/care for.

>>17364105
>their poop is easy to use 'hot' for fertilizer
They are naturally coprophagous, though. Healthy guinea pigs eat much of their own shit for the vitamins.

>>17360440
>no African countries (morroco doesn't count)
Lol.

>>17364112
only because they are too small to have the same organs that a cow does, and re-digest it. so they eat their poop to put it through again, instead of having 4 stomach/intestines and chewing cud. It isn't the same as human/predator feces. It does not carry anywhere near the bioload or dangerous pathogens.

>>17362304
Good shit, anon.

>>17360425

Are Hystricomorphs the future? Capybara tastes good as well, and those are just giant guinea pigs.

>>17365622

>>17371503
Idk. Rabbits have the benefit of useful fur besides their meat. Guinea pig fur isn't useful. Although, I bet hair extensions could be made from silky guinea pig hair, even if many people would be grossed out by the idea, which I really don't understand but okay.

>>17372035
see:
>>17372047
its one or the other. for all herbavores. leaves are SO hard to digest and get all the nutrients out of you need either a complex gut system with cud/vomit chewing or shit eating. one or the other. there is no inbetween. this is also why any claims that humans are not carnivores is laughable at best, because anyone who knows anything about the digestive system of multiple animals knows how this shit rolls.

Why do those guinea pigs have so many toes?

>>17363623
I'm not that Anon but you're incredibly uneducated. You quite literally do absorb copper/iron if you're using pots made from those metals. This fact is so important that charities give fish shaped objects made of iron to people without a good source of iron to help meet their dietary needs.

>>17373148
Those "iron fish" are a scam by a Canadian "non-profit" organization (i.e. all proceeds go to lining their pockets). The region they advocated and promoted its use in Cambodia had high prevalence of anemia, but not due to iron deficiency. Use of the "iron fish" was found to have no impact on the levels of blood iron or the prevalence of hemoglobin disorders like anemia.
It was a scam, like 90% of these things.

>>17373148
And no, you don't fucking absorb copper by using copper pans. They're lined with a non-reactive metal because copper deteriorates in acidic conditions and contaminates the food to the point of toxicity.. Holy shit, you're retarded.

>>17360425
because I live in america not south mexico

>>17373167

>Randomized controlled trial assessing the efficacy of a reusable fish-shaped iron ingot to increase hemoglobin concentration in anemic, rural Cambodian women

>Conclusions: Neither the iron ingot nor iron supplements increased hemoglobin concentrations in this population at 6 or 12 mo. We do not recommend the use of the fish-shaped iron ingot in Cambodia or in countries where the prevalence of iron deficiency is low and genetic hemoglobin disorders are high.

>>17373313
Sounds like the fish did provide iron into the blood but they weren't a good fit at tackling the country's problem desu, which is why the study notes the fish aren't recommended for countries where there's little iron deficiency. This study also used dietary iron. I think you're misunderstanding the point of this study.
>>17373182
>And no, you don't fucking absorb copper by using copper pans.

>>17373359
>Speedread a study that didn't touch on the iron absorption of a stupid iron fish

and now you're trying to claim absorbing copper from copper pans to the point of causing toxicity (in the same manner as eating too much copper food or too many copper supplements) doesn't count because ???

>>17360425
I would eat a guinea pig if challenged to prove that I'm not a hypocrite. But it would be extremely painful.

>>17374919
I think the worst part of eating a pet animal would be the betrayal of trust. These guys are happy to see me, squeak and sing for me, and let me pick them up because they know I won't hurt them. It would be really vile behavior to kill something that loves and trusts you. But a farmed or wild-caught animal (even a farmed guinea pig) would be a completely different story.
