Well you really do learn something new every day. I never knew any cultures ate guinea pigs.
Many years ago in the UK there was a Chinese take away near where my husband lived when we were first dating. They got caught using dog meat in their meals. It was closed down for a while after this, but reopened, I'm not sure for how long, though. There was speculation as to where they got the meat. I don't think any pets were going missing locally.
The lodge looks like it's coming along well. They seem to be using thinner bricks and thicker mortar than I'm used to seeing here. Is that a cost thing or just a different way of doing things there?
