Maybe that will put a smile on your face the next time you have to clean up after the thing.

Ahhh, yes. Between my husband and I secretly we call him "E.R." for Emergency Rations. I am fattening him up
Actually I know all about eating Cuy because I am Peruvian, it's the food of my peeps. But I have yet to try it.
