Re: Photo Contest - January '09
I forgot about that Royal. Glad to hear it's doing well! I'm trying to arrange a trip back to Tampa this Spring. I'll let you know when.

Re: Photo Contest - January '09
There have been some great photos submitted for this contest so far. However, the first thread states that there is to be one entry per person. If everyone would please stick to that, it will make judging much easier for those of us who will be doing it. Thanks everyone, and keep those awesome photos coming!

Re: Photo Contest - January '09
Bill, I think the cold and snow has made you even more weird than my buddy Pete! LOL
But, now that you mention it, I see what you're talking about and I'm afraid I'm going to be dreaming about these tonight! Thanks, Harvey P.S. I thought about bumping up the saturation more but my original looks better on my monitor than the web version so I'll leave it. |

Re: Photo Contest - January '09
Cute photo, it is surprising that they do not eat your banana leaves.

Re: Photo Contest - January '09
Cuy are remarkably well-behaved rodents. Here, at least, if you ask your Cuy nicely not to eat your lettuces, he'll ususally stop. Then again, Cuy here know that if they don't stop, you're likely to barbecue them....

Re: Photo Contest - January '09
You're absolutely right, I think me and maybe Stumpy would agree chicken fried is better.
Andrei, no offense meant. I love my pets and am sure you feel the same. Last edited by Bob : 01-21-2009 at 10:18 AM. |

Actually where they come from, there's a big annual gourmet festival dedicated to them. Seems they taste real good. Sorry Andrei.....

Re: Photo Contest - January '09
Surely, no offence intended! However, Ms.Kitty, I will attest to the tastiness of a good BBQ Cuy. I'll take you some pics from the Cuy Festival next September, if I happen to be in the Mocha area.
Also, you're from Tennessee! You mean to tell me you've never eaten rabbit? Cuy is very similar in flavour and texture. |

Re: Photo Contest - January '09
Yes, I agree, my rodents very gluttonous, they eat almost all vegetation. When I left them at a window, to get warm on the sun they have started to taste my bananas which grew there. I am assured that if it to allow it to eat, they will eat it completely. Here such they bright. And so we feed with their tomatoes and cucumbers, even a banana peel and very much we love them. I heard that in any country they are used in food, and by them very much even tasty but so the life is arranged. The best regards!
