Cuy (guinea pig) is a traditional dish found in Ecuador and neighboring Andean countries. While I'm aware it's considered quite tasty, I must admit I had a hard-time getting past its rat-on-a-stick appearance.
Here, a woman roasts her Cuy out on the street in front of her home.

Of all the pre-Columbian art pieces on display at the excellent Casa del Alabado, this was my favorite. Had the museum shop a quality replica of this, I may have bought one. But alas, not...
This and the other museum images I've chosen to post were shot hand-held through glass sans flash. Not ideal, but I managed.
