Guinea Pigs

The staple diet of Peruvians is Guinea pigs.  In Cusco, they eat about 100,000 guinea pigs a week.  And during the Guinea Pig Festival weekend, they will consume over 200,000 per day.  I haven't tried one yet, but hope to do so when I can eat again.
 I just found out that one of the symptoms of altitude sickness is total loss of appetite and headache.  Describes me to a T.
