    Had Cuy a couple of times when I was in Peru. Bit gamey IIRC. Alpaca on the other hand is fantastic and very low cholesterol.

        an old colleague reared Alpaca's, and used ot sell their 'coat'. I mentioned that people ate these things in South America and he got a bit upset.

        I reckon it's a fair plan B, with the right marketing. Just don't let anyone pet one, before you sell them a leg.

            Aye, Baby Alpaca wool is lovely. I have a scarf made of it. Even softer is Vicuñas wool but it's incredibly expensive as they don't domesticate (IYKWIM) as well.

                I don't see a problem eating them. We eat lamb and they are quite cute!
                Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                I preferred version 1!

                  How do you make the mental leap from cute pet to delicious meal?
                  Simples. Marinade it and shove a skewer through it.

                    Doesn't it need a shave at some stage, or the fur will soak up the marinade.
