Some of you
might remember my “Row, row, row your boat” post in which I talked about grilled guinea pig being a savory delicacy in some
countries.
Well, I just
read an article that takes the guinea pig cooking to the next gastronomical level –
guinea pig ice cream! How about that?!

María del
Carmen Pilapaña, an ice cream vendor in Ecuador, decided to make a new
flavor by cooking down the guinea pig’s meat and making a pate before blending
it with milk or cream. She says it is a hit with her customers.
She also
offers beetle- and mushroom-flavored ice creams, along with more
traditional flavors.
When it comes
to food, we all have our likes and dislikes. I often wonder about our food
preferences and how preconceived they might be, driven by both personal tastes and cultural
norms. But could we really just focus on the taste alone? Delicious is delicious,
right?
So if someone offered you an ice cream and it was amazing and then you
learned it was made of a guinea pig, what would your reaction be?
What did you think? Drop me a line!
