In reply to Larry in Mazatlan.

By cuy do you mean guinea pig? I'd never heard of them in Central America, but they were an important small livestock animal in the Andes of South America. After I left PC Guatemala I returned to Michigan, traveled around a bit, but I could not readjust to life in Gringolandia. I reentered the PC in August of 1982, but since I could not return to the Highlands and would have to live in the "Oriente" I decided to give Ecuador a try. I stayed from 83-85, and I enjoyed eating cuy every chance I got. There they scalded or scorched off the hair, and roasted them to a golden brown on a skewer over an open fire.
