i put maybe.

If they were cheaper, then i'd eat them.

I mean really, whats the difference between eating an alpaca to a cow, pig or sheep?

yeah, but lamb roasts are hydroponically grown and come from a tree - that's how come there's no wool on em when you get them at the store.

The closest thing to an Alpacca tree is the Italian version of when mumma al packa ya lunch.

I have eaten Alpaca and it was nice, tried croc, emu, snake, goat, camel, buffalo (bit gamey) deer and all tossed in together so you can't tell what is what at the Gangues Khan in Darwin.

Erica, around our area you can buy Alpacas for as cheap as $400 each.

If I ate meat I would. It is no different to eating any other animal.

Is it the male that costs thousands and the females are cheaper?

I wouldn't eat a cute Alpaca.

Don't think so, doesn't seem to matter what the sex, they're all around that price (advertised on the native Aussie tree site). They probably get really expensive for the registered breeding ones, but there are quite a few (male and female) available around the $400-$500 mark.

They may have been really expensive when they first became fashionable for farming?

I don't have a problem eating cute and cuddly, as long as it's been looked after well and dies a quick and humane death. I'll try most foods at least once.

Haven't had Alpaca, but have tasted croc, emu, goat, camel, sheep's testicles, roo, etc.

apparantly there are many countries who do eat horse meat, the other night they served wallaby on masterchef:_| I guess it would be similar tasting to kangaroo meat?

The spokesman for the company said the meat taste similar to lamb and veal.
