Peru’s purr-fect meal

Some stories speak for themselves:

Animal rights groups are fuming about the annual festival near the Peruvian capital that serves up hundreds of fried cats to locals.

The Gastronomical Festival of the Cat features people in Canete, near Lima, eating the fluffy creatures because they believe that eating cat burgers – and fried cat legs and tails – can cure bronchial disease.

Now if you’ll excuse me I’m off to nosh on some delicious Peruvian cuy (a.k.a. guinea pig).
