Hi Jim;
I remember reading a "review" from a survival-minded individual who raised some Guinea Pigs (cavies) as a test case for survival situations. It took some searching, but I found it on the excellent Alpha Rubicon Web site.
While I was searching for it, I stumbled upon some other sources of information as well:
An article on the pros and cons of cavies as a meat source, from the book "Microlivestock"
And here's an article (in PDF) on cavies for meat production.
And an older article about Peruvian Guinea Pig meat production. I love this line: "Today, churches in Lima and Cuzco still display Indian depictions of the Last Supper with Jesus and the 12 disciples eating roasted guinea pig." Is Guinea Pig even kosher?
Thanks again for my daily read, - JRIP
