Our post on eating Cuy—the guinea pigs cooked up as food in Ecuador—just got this comment from “Aamzy” in Peru. We have no idea if it’s actually true, but we want it to be:

“You have to be very careful, because sometimes rats rape cuys and a sort  of hybrid is born (like a cuy with a tail) and some people cut their  tail and cook them anyway, so you may be eating rat!”

Wait, why does it have to be rape, Aamzy? Are you saying a guinea pig would never hump a rat willingly? Call us romantics, but we choose to believe these spit-roasted abominations are the product of star-crossed love…
