One of the guides we ran into was from the Amazon. They ate fish, snake, grubs, etc. He tried Cuy and just was not edible, for him.

The funny one was when he (that guide) related that one of his clients wanted a latte so he inquired as to what type of mile she wanted. Cow, goat, Cuy? We then discussed the size of milking machine necessary to milk a herd of Cuy.

When we were in Australian (Queensland) we drove past a house that had a herd of them on the side of the road. Haven't seen them in subsequent visits so don't know what happened to them.
