Anyone done the taste testing before? I've been filling out the surveys for a few weeks now and finally was eligible for one. Yay free food

You are going to eat Guinea Pigs? How will they be prepared?

2/17/2012 2:52:14 PM

Probably in a crock pot.

2/17/2012 2:53:05 PM

south americans eat that shit right up

2/17/2012 2:53:15 PM

there's no such thing as a free lunch

2/17/2012 2:53:31 PM

Yeah I doubt it'll be enough food to constitute a meal but at least I get a $30 Target gift card for showing up.

2/17/2012 2:54:02 PM

I, too, have eaten Guinea Pig. In South America (Ecuador). True story.

But I did not get a Target gift card. Fail.

Or did it make you more likely to click on the thread?

2/17/2012 3:20:55 PM

Dammit, you got me

2/17/2012 3:24:27 PM

It is legal to eat guinea pigs in the US, in case anyone was wondering. I looked it up.

2/17/2012 3:26:39 PM

That was beautiful execution. 10/10

2/17/2012 3:27:01 PM

My neighbor raises rabbits for food. I assume you can do the same with guinea pigs

Pretty sure you can eat any animal, other than people.

Hopefully the follow-up thread will contain more of the obligatory faces.

2/17/2012 5:47:53 PM

I totally thought you were going to taste test guinea pigs

Ate my baked beans yesterday. Got $25 to spend at Target. Get to go again tomorrow to try out some ham and get $25 more money bucks

Free pork chops? Yes please.

In HS, my AP Bio teacher was a graduate of NCSU's Food Science program. She did taste testing all the time and it wasn't always fun -- sometimes it's butter/margarine.

2/22/2012 11:19:14 AM

What's wrong with eating butter?





But they do tell you upfront what you're going to be taste testing so if it doesn't sound like something you'd enjoy you don't take the survey to qualify.

ive eaten entire guinea pig villages whilst in south america.

2/22/2012 12:35:40 PM

I do the NCSU taste tests whenever I can

I've done one on cream cheese and one on bacon

it's like "come eat breakfast for a Target gift card!"

2/22/2012 3:59:23 PM

I thought I saw something recently to where you can't domesticated animals, being cats and dogs

you edited that and it still makes no sense

2/22/2012 4:08:18 PM

Did one on ham yesterday. One of the hams was kind of but the others were great. $25 Wal-Mart card wooo!

2/24/2012 9:19:16 PM

I'm poor as fuck right now, so free food or money sounds like $texas at the moment.

2/24/2012 9:30:14 PM

I wanted to try cuy in Peru, but it was always served as a whole guinea pig. I strongly prefer my meat to look like meat instead of the animal it's from.

I did try alpaca, though.

2/24/2012 10:03:06 PM

When were you in S. America?

And, p.s., was it good?

2/24/2012 10:05:09 PM

All these people posted about eating guinea pigs and no has said whether or not it was good. WTF.

2/24/2012 10:47:46 PM

back when i had food micro in the food science building i would take part in taste tests.

Alpaca was OK; didn't try the cuy, because of a mental block due to it coming out on the plate looking like ^
