Some places have their own "weird" delicacy that throws people off. Dogs in Yuan, maggot cheese in Sardinia, undeveloped ducks or stewed frogs in the Philippines, and so on. So, I'm not going to knock this at all.

Tbf, I've read about this as a teen a long time ago (GQ) and was fascinated by the irony of having the guinea pig in a cartoony sketch on the wrapper while seeing their corpse through the plastic.

Yeah it was more the cutesy picture that threw me off. Most of the meat I buy just has a silhouette of the animal in question.

I guess it's not the worst idea to have a greater understanding, and hopefully respect, of where your food comes from.

Meet your meat!
