Who eats wins

We've started a game called 'Who eats wins'. There's so many interesting things to try over here, one of which has been 'Cuy' or guinea pig. Cooked guinea pig is a Peruvian specialty which we tried while we were in Cusco. It comes in many forms and is usually whole. Jesus and the Apostles were even depicted eating Cuy and 'Chicha' - an Inca corn beer - in a painting of the Last Supper we saw in a Cathedral in Cusco. Other things I've tried include Alpaca, Lake Titicaca trout, intestines stuffed with meat and rice, and Bolivian saltenas (sweet samosa-shaped pastries stuffed with chicken, potato and other mystery ingredients).
