Anyone for Guinea pig ice cream? In Ecuador, a vendor is attracting customers serving the rodents as a cold dessert.
In this Sept. 28, 2019 photo, Maria del Carmen Pilapana tops a scoop of a guinea pig flavored ice cream with peanuts, at her stall on the outskirts of Quito, Ecuador. Out of work, with three children in tow, Pilapana began attending free training courses for entrepreneurs. She was challenged to do something innovative and, after six months of testing, she starting selling offbeat flavored ice creams.

Every week, the entrepreneur prepares 150 servings of guinea pig ice cream. It was a close call. Out of work, with three children in tow, Pilapaña began attending free training courses for entrepreneurs.

Ants, cicadas and worms are used to make some desserts, often chocolate-infused ones, in parts of Latin America. But incorporating such ingredients _ guinea pigs included _ into ice cream is unusual.
