Guinea pigs (called cuy, cuye, or curí) were originally domesticated for their meat in the Andes.
Traditionally, the animal was reserved for ceremonial meals and as a delicacy by indigenous people in the Andean highlands, but since the 1960s, it has become more socially acceptable for consumption by all people.
It continues to be a major part of the diet in Peru and Bolivia, particularly in the Andes Mountains highlands.
