I think he's saying don't do the rodent and spit posts during our food and beverage topics. ;)Supriyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517702822500748969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018311341701044333.post-8663659593746110412012-04-18T09:55:39.579-04:002012-04-18T09:55:39.579-04:00Having had guinea pigs as pets I was horrified to ...Having had guinea pigs as pets I was horrified to learn that they were considered a delicacy in Peru....but then we eat lizards here so....<br /><br />It always fascinating how the native peoples of the Americas adapted/dealt with the Spaniards and Europeans.

And yes, Judas looking directly at the viewer is interesting (and a tad disconcerting!).<br /><br />Beth, thanks! I really love that story, too. I first heard about and saw it in 1996 and it's stuck with me ever since. I would imagine there are many stones we don't know about in Latin America that serve the same purpose.Alli Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363202163419352155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018311341701044333.post-80658510531420181642012-04-17T08:50:50.428-04:002012-04-17T08:50:50.428-04:00Thanks for sharing, Alli.

I wonder how many other stories like that are built into the stones of buildings everywhere?Beth Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443319761239806127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018311341701044333.post-43782475303560878552012-04-17T07:25:53.318-04:002012-04-17T07:25:53.318-04:00Lovely post, Alli.

In many Last Supper paintings, Judas is clutching a money bag, but I've never seen him looking directly at the viewer. Thank you for sharing it.Patricia Wintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095600674659292509noreply@blogger.com
