Guinea pig; it's what for dinner!

Read this on permies.com this morning.

  "I've had guinea pig.  In Peru everyone has a guinea pig hutch in back.  All the waste material from the kitchen goes to the hutch for 'post consumer recycling'.  The street vendors sell barbecued g-pig on skewers.  Flesh is pale, a bit darker than chicken breast.  Flavour depends on what you feed it.  I got one pig that had been fed on fish guts.  Tasted like tuna.  Don't know how winter hardy they are."   
  Seems like a huge skinning hassle but I gotta wonder what they would taste like on a tripe diet?? Maybe chicken heads?  Do you have to worry about mad pig disease if you just want them to taste like guinea pig?  The winter hardiness would be a definite plus though, and come to think of it, a Guinea fur coat might be nice.
