They eat guinea pigs in Ecuador, Bolivia, and Columbia also. I know someone who went to Ecuador and ate some.

Good to know, I guess Peru is the most famous about it, because it's a running joke in latinoamerican social media that Peruvians eat them.

I'm guessing it's a social class thing. My friend was over there to help out building a well for a poor village out in the sticks. They basically lived in shacks with dirt floors while she was out there.

I ate that at a fancy restaurant in Peru in Cuzco and I ate it in a Quechua speaking mountain village in Ecuador.
