Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

That seems to be almost exclusive to the Peruvian Andes region, I'm from Brazil and never hear of anyone eating a Guinea Pig there, or even in Argentina and Uruguay.

Sounds like you are missing out. I'd try it.

The idea is not if it is worth trying but that it's not widespread in south America.

Can confirm that it's not found in supermarkets in Montevideo nor Buenos Aires.
