Comments on: Guinea Pigs al Fresco http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/guinea-pigs-al-fresco/ Welcome to the home of Beta Mum - who lacks the lifestyle and perfectionist tendencies of Alpha Mummy, but rubs along pretty well most of the time Sat, 22 Nov 2008 22:53:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: cathy http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/guinea-pigs-al-fresco/#comment-73 cathy Mon, 16 Apr 2007 22:01:09 +0000 http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/guinea-pigs-al-fresco/#comment-73 Our Breton friends tell us guinea pigs are eaten in France but not much, and generally in the south. They apparently taste like squirrel, if that's any help. This information about the taste was in an English language newspaper called French News which we bought while we were there.

I spent wellnigh half my childhood in France, but never encountered one on the menu. They certainly don't figure in my Raymond Oliver. Google was also not forthcoming with any recipes, and this is one area in which Google never lets me down. I should imagine they would taste very rodenty.
