Cuyes

National delicacy: cuy, or guinea pig. 

I neglected to put these photos up earlier.  The first day I visited Latacunga, I met a wonderful man who raises guinea pigs.  He had, at the time of our meeting, around 200 cuyes.  He sells them to people who want to eat them.  And he occasionally, on days when celebration is in order, eats them himself.
