Via [livejournal.com profile] ratphooey, i give you prehistoric giant guinea pigs. My thought: "Where are we going to find a cardboard tube that big?"

I did manage to have some tasty cuy the last day i was in Ecuador. That prehistoric stuff... mmm, enough for the whole family. Oh yeah!

Eating guinea pig and pork rare in rural Ecuador is a great way to get neurocysticercosis, in which a tapeworm larva burrows its way from your gut to your brain, encysts itself there, and dies.

I only mention it 'cause I'm writing a paper about it.

Yep, just read about such a case recently, too. I assure you that the cuy i ate was not only in urban Ecuador, but it was fully cooked. I don't believe in rare meat.
