DeKalb County, Ga.... Yup, that's about right.

What costume?

My Emotional Support Guinea Pig! Scraps!! Nooooooo...

Not only does it not mention the costume, it doesn't tell us which restaurant to avoid. Having read an article a while back about "secret ingredients" chefs put in dishes that would make us hurl if we knew (for example, squid ink), I personally believe the statement that it was for "personal consumption" is an overflowing bin of dog poo.

I guess I'll have to avoid ALL restaurants in Georgia...

If it is best served with beer wouldnt that make it a "Guinness" Pig?

Best served on a bed of lettuce (salad) it would be a guinea pig in a blanket

Tamara - Dekalb is part of Metro Atlanta - no longer part of "The Old South".

C-bol - The costume is predicted to be THE gift to give next Arbor Day.

best served with beer? I think they mean best served AFTER beer - lots and lots of beer

(or maybe lots and lots of parfait - no telling what a guy might eat when the munchies hit)

Pogo darlin, do you live here, too? If so, you'll note there isn't actually a single piece of Georgia that isn't "The Old South".

1/T (Once upon a time) my wife and I were having dinner in an oriental restaurant near North DeKalb Mall when we heard what sounded like a meow from the kitchen. We tried to pretend it was just a squeaky hinge on the kitchen door. We tried...

I was going to suggest that one would need lots of beer in order to partake of guinea pig, but I see that my thoughts were not only my own. Plus, there ain't enough beer in the world. Even after parfait.

sorry southerngirl - I was under your bed looking for something I dropped, and heard you muttering something about needing lots of beer - I typed it first tho, so legally it's mine - but since it's you, i'll share credit...

I once asked a waitress at an eatery in Dekalb that rhymes with Awful Souse for an order of pigs in a blanket, and she said, "How 'bout Ah jus' slip own mah raincoat?" But that's another story. And speaking of stories and guinea pigs, check out the, IMHO, hilarious short story here: (sorry, I must have forgotten how to link)

[AlanBoss]

Damn! TCK beat me to the "Lots of beer" line!

My husband and I recently returned from a 15-month trip to Peru, where guinea pig is raised as a food animal and eaten. Let me tell you... I have had guinea pigs as my childhood pets, and as dinner... they make much better dinner. ;)

From experience, I recommend you garnish with a sailor suit.
