For the record, cuy/cavy/guinea pig tastes like frog, which is to say, like slightly fishy chicken. The little paws get all crispy when you grill them, which is kind of awesome.

You're the second person who said they taste like frogs. See, I've had frog, and... blech. I imagine the fat caramelizes on them, which I love (I have a weakness for duck). But yeah, I guess I'm just not curious.

Aw, poor widdle paws. Reminds me of chicken feet. If it still looks significantly like parts of the live mammal or bird when I'm eating it, I have a hard time doing it.
