They are called pigs because they were bred for their flesh! They may be small but they breed really quickly (up to five times a year) and can weigh up to 1.7 kg, so there might not be a huge amount of flesh on one animal but the animals are plentiful.
I have often wondered why they are called guinea pig, any clues Lee? ♡

ReplyDeletePlease don't ask me how you cook them.
Thanks kapgaf for that information,I had no idea... they are far too cute to eat and 'no' I wont ask how they are cooked. :) ♡
ReplyDeleteWell, my concern would be if you can get trichinosis from them if they are not cooked properly.
