“…Archaeological remains of guinea pigs often belong to young individuals (Nigra 2017; Rofes and Wheeler 2003; Rosenfeld 2008; Sandweiss and Wing 1997). This may reflect the previously discussed value placed on young animals in both feasting and sacrifice, but in the case of guinea pigs, it likely also reflects taste.…”

“…Spanish chronicler Garcilaso de la Vega (1966[1609]:327) writes that meat was generally consumed by commoners “when they celebrated a great occasion by killing one of the rabbits they bred in their houses, called [cuy].” Today they are most often eaten on Christmas, Easter, and Corpus Christi (Archetti 1997:70; Bolton and Calvin 1981). It has been suggested that guinea pigs may fill seasonal nutritional gaps when dietary needs are highest, which coincide with these festivals (Bolton 1979; Rosenfeld 2008). If prehispanic guinea pig consumption was also primarily restricted to festivals, we should expect to see them more strongly associated with feasting assemblages than with regular consumption.…”

“…Toutefois, leur consommation se heurte à des problèmes culturels. Ainsi, il ne viendra pas à l'idée du consommateur français de manger des cochons d'Inde comme dans les Andes (Rosenfeld 2008) ou de la viande de rat comme dans certaines régions de Thaïlande ou de Chine. A contrario, le consommateur français surprend par le fait qu'il consomme des cuisses de grenouilles ou des escargots.…”

“…This meat has high protein content (20.3%), and low content fat (7.8%); compared with other meat products, like birds (18.2% protein and 10.2% fat), cattle (18.7% protein and 18.2% fat) and pigs (12.4% protein and 35.8% fat). So, it has high nutritional potential (Pascual, 2000;Rosenfeld, 2008). For nowaday, researchers have been studying this meat with approaches nutritional, productive and preservation (Ordoñez and Martos, 2004).…”
