Grilled guinea pigs are this NYC restaurant’s shocking specialty
New York Post–Are you brave enough to try this dish?
Maybe when pigs fry.
New York City epicures are devouring a “special” Ecuadorian delicacy, guinea pigs — better known stateside as a potential pet for kids — and hailing them as a “very delicious” feast.
At least that is the experience at the restaurant La Casa Del Cuy — literally “the house of guinea pig” — a culinary go-to in Corona, Queens, that grills and serves the rodent (cuy) whole, essentially every part but the “squeak.”
“It’s better than chicken. Better than rabbit,” manager Lucio Barrera told The Post, even claiming that the head is the best part.
