Do Bolivians eat any guinea pig? If not, why?
Because when I went to Bolivia, I have never seen any supermarket or street markets selling/cooking guinea pigs in La Paz and El Alto. I saw more live llamas, alpacas (on the way to El Alto) and rabbits being sold than guinea pigs I think??? Even in Bolivian cuisine guinea pig is very, very rare to see and people eat rabbits instead for some reason. If people don't eat that much guinea pig in Bolivia, why is that? Why is it that Peruvians and Ecuadorians eat them a lot but Bolivians simply don't?
Odd because in Juliaca it's eaten a lot but not even in smaller towns like Bolivian Desaguadero or Copacabana I see people cooking them, especially on the latter that is full of tourists.
