No Brainstorm, definately Paraguay. Maybe Peru too though.

I'd cook up a big pan of it, so you've got some left over for the next day (guinea pig always tastes better after it's stood overnight). Twelve is probably ideal, but make sure you use baby guinea pigs as the meat on the adults isn't as good. And you probably already know this but the best way to cook them is the same way you'd cook lobster. I'm jealous, can I come?

I don't think Guinea pigs are typically put in a casserole - I think they're usually barbecued or roasted whole on a skewer if you really want to be authentic. And I think one each with a variety of sides should suffice.
But be careful not to offend them - not everyone in Paraguay or Peru eats Guinea pigs, and they may feel insulted, like you're taking the p*ss.
You may be better off going with something more mundane like chicken - especially if you want to make a casserole.

There's not a lot of meat on the little buggers, so I'd go for one average-sized guinea pig per person. My neighbour has a couple of fat ones if you want them - I'll swap them for one of your grans diamonds (only a small one)

Casseroles are not only convenient, but also enable one to stretch more servings from smaller portions of meats.
In a pinch, you can add some gray squirrel.

depending on how big the Guineas are...
If they're full grown then one Guinea between two......
The meat tastes of pork so you may want to make a sweet and sour source to go with them.
enjoy..... (i think!!!)
They're at bit expensive this time of year. Retailing at around £15.00 each......

Depends on which cuts of meat your using. If you really want to impress, use only the rump.
Chuck in eight of the squealers, just to be sure.
Oh - be careful which wine to choose. Nothing too heavy as its not a strong tasting meat.

Depends on how much fur you keep on them when you put them in the pot. I find that although it does soak up the gravy a bit it makes for a more satisfying munch overall.
Llama-dung cutlets should be your next choice if you find yourself too short on the rodents.

I don't know about Guniea Pigs, but you could always make a Ratatouille. Just make sure the rats are dead first though!

Great recipe ideas, but they are also known to be partial to a Kitten Tikka Masala.

If they are a good size, one per person should suffice.They would probably like to have new neighbors.
