THATZ NASTYYYY!!!! :p
 

Those foods are nasty!! :p
who eats dogs?

Some Koreans and Chinese. [i'm not racist- I'm chinese myself]
I still think its amazing people are unaware of this.
have you been living under a rock?

apparently we have because I didn't know that haha....I wonder what it tastes like...-wonders-

OH FOR GOD's SAKE! I mean, in countries like Korea, dogs are just somewhat a normal dish for them. But that, that is just insane! But i respect other cultures.

i couldn't knowingly eat dog, i'd think of our family pet...it's one of those foods that's gotta have a name where you can't tell what it is, you try it go mhmmm yummy and then somebody says "you know you just had dog right?"

Chinese eat dogs?!?! I've never seen dog on any menus in Taiwan. I must have missed it somewhere along the line. Or are you talking about mainland China? I know there are some pretty wacky things on the menu in China. I know that my mom and her family love that rotten looking duck egg stuff. It just looks like a black mess of terrible to me DX I think I tried it once and it was really salty, but the texture killed me. I guess if you want to appreciate that kind of stuff you have to be full Chinese, hahaha.

Are you asking about the practical approach or the western moral dilemma of eating mans best friend?

[*Warning this contains cooking instructions if you progress past this point I can't be held reponcible for your reaction*] From a strictly mechanical point I would remove the meat around the shoulders and work my way back exempting the legs because it doesn't look like there's much there anyway. Cook some by itself perhaps stewed or roasted, decorate with parsely, and serve with Cabernet Sauvignon for full effect. I can't imagine it would taste good boiled, although stir frying would seem like a good alternative.

From the moal stand point I would start by not seeing it as a good human companion but rather as an affordable opprotunity to experience foreign cuisine (in another country of course unless you like a stiring animal abuse suit). This is easier for some (like me) than others that have a more empathic relationship with animals.

Yeah, like northern mainland china, nearer there. I believe but hey, I could be wrong.

im pretty much full chinese
Yeah, some of the stuff we eat are pretty sick like birds nest[made from swallows spit', cordyceps which are dried plants that eat insects [like it has a sweet sticky substance that attracts insects but when insects eat it they eat stuck and the plant kills it with its digestive juices', chicken feet- i heart that stuff.

I've seen chickens being killed, my gran owns a few and we kill them and eat them, its normal to me y'know. so i've never been that scared of images of dead animals. call me a bitch, but thats the way it is.

@wilson: I hope you're not suggesting that you'd kill a dog just to see what it would taste like >.>

My grandfather living in Taiwan has all sorts of farm animals. I don't think I've ever seen him kill any, but he has chickens and hens that lay eggs for him, and this rooster that he loves. He's always going out to feed it and stuff, it's kind of heart warming. But I remember he had this rooster this one time that always chased me around as a kid, it scared me -.-;

Anyway, I'm getting off topic a bit. I mentioned Duran earlier. Has anyone tried or seen Duran? It smells awful and it tastes awful... Even Andrew Zimmer from Bizarre Foods can't keep that down! It's the only food in the world that he can't stand. That says a lot too -.-;;
