There have been some loans to Peru in the last few days, but they don't stay on long. There is one listed right now.

And it's a 4-month loan!

Another Loan for Dog Meat Business...

I thought I would post it, as it used to be past KF topic of discussion, but I am not commenting (or debating)whether this is a "palatable" (excuse the pun) loan or not as I am sure there are people who will still fund it...

Nguyen Thi Bach
Mrs. Nguyen Thi Bach is 41 years old, she has participated in TYM Fund since 1999. After joining the Fund, Mrs. Bach's family borrowed money to open a restaurant selling dog meat. With delicious dishes and reasonable price, the restaurant attracts a large number of customers. The business is going well and and it brings a monthly income of VND5,000,000 to her family. In this loan cycle, she would like to borrow VND10,000,000 to invest to expand the restaurant's business.

Sorry, I can't comment on the different meats that are eaten around the world (dog, guinea pigs, rabbits, cows, snakes, chickens, etc etc etc). I get myself into too much trouble.  Wink Wink Wink But thanks for posting, Natasha, I appreciate the pointer.

Surprisingly, they taste like something between a bald eagle and a whooping crane.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

When I as much younger, my mother always told me "Just eat it, it taste like chicken."  You mean she was wrong?  Huh?      Wink

            Rebecca - who to the best of her knowledge has never eaten bald eagles, whooping cranes, Guinea Pigs, snakes, or dogs.
