Easter Dinner?
« on: April 12, 2009, 11:12:18 AM »

"Venezuela's giant rodent cuisine
While in many countries the Easter dish may be lamb, in Venezuela a traditional delicacy around this time of the year is the capybara, the world's biggest rodent.
The capybara is a distant cousin to the common guinea pig but bigger and river-based like a beaver.
Many Venezuelans regard the semi-aquatic creature as more fish than meat - a useful description during Lent when it is eaten as a replacement for red meat in this largely Roman Catholic country." BBC

The official hunting season is in the weeks before Easter


Sounds delicious, but I think I'll stick with  ham.

We're having deli capybara sandwiches with platypus chips and iced kangaroo milk.

Personally, I'll stick with my original menu of spotted owl and an appetizer of Komodo Dragon.
