During our time in Peru & Bolivia I've crossed some tasty tasty animals off my checklist. Both Alpaca and Llama have succumbed to my rabid hunger. And the verdict is that Alpaca is much like good beef, and Llama is like bad beef (this makes a certain sense as Llamas are the bigger and grumpier of the two).

The real carnivore highlight though was the two Cuys (pronounced Koo-Eee and read Guinea Pig) that I demolished, the first was fantastic and quite big for a Cuy but you are presented with the whole Cuy (minus feet and head if your lucky) which you have to then dismember it extensively to extract the pinky meat (it seriously resembles suicide chicken). Of course the second one cost more and was really poor, but you get that when travelling.
