It was cooked by a street vendor (I took some foolish chances in those days) on a spit over coals. He brushed the beastie with some thick orange grease (probably fat with some spices in it) and turned the spit occasionally. The meat wasn't too bad--resembling chicken, as I recall, but the grease was enough to gag you. I even have a picture of a woman selling live guinea pigs in the market place. Such memories...
