In Ecuador, people typically cook guinea pigs with salt and serve them with potatoes and peanut sauce. But one vendor is taking things to another gastronomic level, serving guinea pigs as a cold dessert.
Anyone who thinks of guinea pigs as pets — cute, squishy, squeaking bundles of fur — might find that idea hard to digest.
The stall owner is Maria del Carmen Pilapana, whose offbeat offering inspires disbelief and laughter among first-time customers. She also makes 40 servings of ice cream flavored with beetles, also traditionally eaten as a salty snack, and a smaller amount of mushroom ice cream.“My family and my husband thought I was crazy. They didn’t think anyone would like these ice creams, but now they’re our main product,” said Pilapana, who acknowledges that she had her own doubts about whether her investment would pay off.
The beetle and mushroom ice creams include fruits such as pineapple and passion fruit. Beetle ice cream has a slight aroma of wet earth.
