This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

How is this different from eating pig or cow? It's all mammal in the end. People eat rabbits too.
No it’s for people. Guinea pigs are raised for food in Peru.
Yeah, can't see it for any other reason than large reptiles. Though the people I know that keep snakes usally prefer live bought rats.
Edit: Thank you to those who pointed out my lack of culinary knowledge in an informative manner.
Well, it’s like a Cornish game hen, just not for people in North America.
Ah, well maybe certian parts of North America. I used to work with a guy who ate seagull eggs (from a small fishing outport in NFLD) and appartently they are not much different from chiken eggs. TIL.
Guinea Pig is on the BBC's list of 50 foods to eat before you die. Or it was when I started eating my way through it years ago. I think it's the only one I haven't had.
Nope, people food in the Andes.
