The traditional Peruvian dish cuy is made with guinea pig.
Cuy, also known as guinea pig, is a traditional dish from the Andean region of South America, particularly in Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. It is a small animal that is raised for its meat, which is considered a delicacy in these regions. Cuy is typically roasted or grilled whole, and is often served with potatoes and other traditional sides. It is a significant part of the culture and cuisine of the Andean people, and is often served at festivals and special occasions. While some people may find the idea of eating guinea pig unusual or unappetizing, it remains an important cultural tradition in the Andean region.
