The favorite food of the sierra natives is fried potatoes and cuy or better known in North America as guinea pig. These guinea pigs taste just like they are called small pigs. They are in many of the homes and run loose. The dirt floors and smoke keep the animals healthy and the family feeds them anything green.
While this little girl is holding the cuy like a pet, it is actually supper for the family.
cute picture, but I must admit my eyes were drawn to the wall behind her. Is that some stone age axe and an alligator skin?
