I can't stomach seaweed T_T

Yes but dogs arent raised as livestock in China or Korea either,
I saw in an old documentary of Chinese chefs grabbing a Mutt of the streets ripping its skin off , cooking it and then serving it to customers.

Imagine all the possible risks of getting a disease? Even if i was offered dog i wouldnt eat it.

Heres a picture of a women cutting up a dog in disgusting conditions..

I read somewhere that the Aztecs used to keep techichi dogs and some made use of them as traveling rations on the hoof, so to speak.

Let's just say that in some countries, they believe that cooking will kill all the germs, which is kinda true and chinese people are really good when it comes to proper cooking. Here in America, let's just say that treatment of dogs are over exaggerated. People here treat Dogs as human. Dogs are animals, and treating them like animals is not wrong. Though they should not be abused. We all have different cultures and what i hate is some Americans think that those people who eat dogs are evil.

Another vile food occurs to me: Natto.

My god, natto. One of the few foodstuffs which makes me feel sick just thinking about it.

I found natto actually sort of tasteless, it was that super sticky mucilage-like goo the soy beans are suspended in that was really gross. It stuck to places you never dreamed it would stick on the human body, and it was a real comedy routine cleaning up...Ugh. At least Gramma was entertained...

:pinkcry:

As a terrible postscript, I thought perhaps there was something wrong with that first batch I tried, so, (stupid me) I tried another brand. It was right out of Ghostbusters, it was both a horror and a comedy.

Two quotes came to mind:

"Somebody blows their nose and you want to keep it?"

And...

"He slimed me."

Dorian! so gross. My own cooking creations are pretty gross too:D

am i the only person on this forum that can spell the damn word. :mad:

Whoa whoa whoa, I just realized that I've become the defender of people that eat dogs. Let me set the record straight, I do not eat dogs, I don't condone the rampant slaughter of dogs, nor have I seen them prepared or served.

I'm merely suggesting that one should keep an open mind when dealing with the cuisine of foreign lands. I like to follow the 'don't knock it until you've tried it' appraoch to food.

And FYI, it looks like this was taken in the poorer area of one of asia's larger cities. They can't afford the equipment of a modern slaughter house (band saws, fillet knives, stainless steal counters, gutting knives, bone saws, sterilized aprons and gloves, face masks, and a cabinate full of cleaning solutions). So unless you want to pay thousands of dollars so the lady can process her dog in an FDA approved environment let the woman work in peace.

Stinky Tofu.

I don't like it D:
