Guinea pig ice cream becomes a 'tasty' treat in Ecuador

Anyone who thinks of guinea pigs as pets — cute, squishy, squeaking bundles of fur — might find that idea hard to digest.

The stall owner is Maria del Carmen Pilapana, whose offbeat offering inspires disbelief and laughter among first-time customers. She also makes 40 servings of ice cream flavored with beetles, also traditionally eaten as a salty snack, and a smaller amount of mushroom ice cream.“My family and my husband thought I was crazy. They didn’t think anyone would like these ice creams, but now they’re our main product,” said Pilapana, who acknowledges that she had her own doubts about whether her investment would pay off.

The beetle and mushroom ice creams include fruits such as pineapple and passion fruit. Beetle ice cream has a slight aroma of wet earth.

Wat.

Huh

My local pet store sells these pigs. Have to give it a try

Oh! But it’s totally a cultural thing, just like in America where we electrocute and then slit the throats of pigs, cows and chickens. (Somebody had to say it. 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Thats beyond disgusting Ecuador GoVegan Save lives

Going to have to go with a 'no' on that one.

🤢

Chaos and police brutality have overtaken the streets of Ecuador's capital for the better part of two weeks. You should report about that instead of guinea pig ice cream. You look like you've turned your back on reality when you report on dessert and ignore major stories.

I hope the person who wrote this article goes to hell

Eca!

Rat-cream?

LA Times wants you to eat rodents and pets when they welcome their communist overlords

We should all be so grateful to live in countries where we don't have to eat guinea pigs.

What's next . . Rocky Mountain Oyster ice cream? How about an article about guinea pigs - recipes - as a regional food staple. I hear that it is very very good (depending on the cook).

🤢

Yuck

What. The. Literal. Fuck.
