"Cuy" is a dish. It seems cuy can sometimes include a broader class of rodent, but guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) is definitely one of them. They eat guinea pigs in the Andes. They were originally domesticated there to be food.

Originally, guinea pigs were domesticated as livestock for their meat, in the Andean region of South America, and they are still consumed there.

So I don't know where you're getting that they're different, or that they don't eat guinea pigs.

The "pretty common" part maybe, but Guinea Pigs are definitely used as food in various regions of the Andes

Yeah, was wrong. Confused it with eating cats and dogs.

Maybe he thinks "ham" comes from hamsters.

Maybe autocorrect of lobster? Just going by the likely autocorrect of mussels.

(Autocorrect may also be an aneurism)

It must be a lot of work to get enough hamster meat to feed two people.

Hamster is the leaner version of SPAM. Which is obviously made from Squirrels Possum And Mice.

That toast not being on some kind of plate makes me more uncomfortable than I thought it would (maybe because that kitchen counter looks kinda ew?).

Probably because that's where he skinned and cleaned the hamster.

What is OOP even asking? That looks like a perfectly acceptable meal. Other than the hamster meat.

I neither buy nor cook my food, I get what I am fed. I clean the house, she gets and cooks the food
