モルモット
Guinea pig meat is high in protein and low in fat and cholesterol, and is described as being similar to rabbit and the dark meat of chicken. The animal may be served fried ("chactado" or "frito"), broiled ("asado"), or roasted ("al horno"), and in urban restaurants may also be served in a casserole or a fricassee. Ecuadorians commonly consume "sopa" or "locro de cuy", a soup dish. "Pachamanca" or "huatia", a process similar to barbecuing, is also popular, and is usually served with corn beer ("chicha") in traditional settings.
