Hi there, good question! In many cultures, including those in the Ecuadorian sierra, it's not uncommon for an animal to hold both a sacred and a culinary role. The significance of cuy (guinea pig) in these communities is multifaceted. While it may be considered sacred or hold ceremonial importance in certain contexts, it is also valued as a traditional food source. This dual role reflects the deep connection between cultural practices, spirituality, and sustenance, illustrating how various aspects of life can be interwoven, even when they seem contradictory from an outside perspective.
Thanks for sharing enjoy all the best 🇪🇨
Ecuador is beautiful! When you tried the fruit you reminded me of guy fieri in triple d
Not trying to be a smart a$$, but how does cuy being sacred fit with the fact that it is a food, especially in the sierra?

Thank you, I am trying to learn as much as I can about Ecuador and the culture as I am moving there in the very near future.
