Recorded sources
6 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that people eat guinea pig in Peru?

Yes. A travel/historical reference states guinea pigs have long been a highly prized food in the Andes of Peru, and a scoping review notes guinea pig remains a food source in Peru. Other sources more loosely indicate Peruvians keep and eat guinea pigs.
