35 分钟Hello, and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices.
My name is Dan Schreiber, I'm sitting here with Alex Bell, Andy Murray, and Anna Chasinski,
and once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days,
and in no particular order, here we go.
Starting with you, Andy Murray.
My fact is that in Peru, depictions of the Last Supper showed Jesus and his disciples eating a guinea pig.
That's what they do, that's what is there.
This is, there's one particular famous painting by a guy called Marcos Zapata, who painted in 1755,
a very large painting, fresco, whatever it is, of the Last Supper, and Jesus and his disciples.
They're all sitting around a guinea pig, which has been char-grilled and barbecued.
Is there any chance that they would have eaten a guinea pig back then?
Was that food back then?
Well, not in the Middle East, I didn't think.
Did they come from the Middle East?
Oh, sorry, in the Middle East, sorry, I thought you meant,
were they taking it to South America and because they ate guinea pigs in South America, which they did.
Which they did, okay.
And they still do.
They're really popular.
Yes, they're huge, yeah.
