Speaking as someone who does live in the mountains and eats rodents, I heartily second that, sir Bananamal.

But if your dad was putting in her in Ecuador, chances are he was in Manta, and they don't eat rodents there. The seafood is second to none, though - mmmmm! Little dead sea bugs!

(I jest; my absolute fave is something called Encocado, where they take all the meat out of a coconut, blender it with peanuts and curry, then stuff it all back into the shell with shrimp and crab and chunks of fish. So good.)
