Would you eat dog?

zenazena said:
i forgot .. i also had some soup in indonesia with a chicken head floating in it!!! god, i've eaten some pretty manky stuff... still, i'd rather eat all the above again than kfc or mcshite

Sorry, can't see your logic there at all.

If I'm going to eat offal, then I'd rather it was minced & disguised into a sausage or a burger than proudly on display like it was acceptable to consume!!!

I would have thought anyone who has eaten takeaways for a number of years must have eaten both cat and dog at least once.


because of course all the kitchen staff do at night is roam the streets hunting animals



anyone who has eaten take aways will probably have encountered a shit load of MSG and a fair abount of mechanically recovered meat... but your probably not that likely to be tucking into pooch

my logic is that all of the above was more than likely fresh, i could see what it was (with the exception of the dog), it wasn't mechanically recovered, highly processed, covered in msg, salt, cheap fat and god knows what else. i can't see the logic in lying to yourself about what you are eating. would you eat dog poo if it was made into a nice burger shape?

Don't dignify the silly cunt with a sensible answer.

If the antediluvian twat wants to witter on about borderline-racist sentiments then let him hang himself.

besides, any country that brings us the turkey twizzler, Walls sausages and cheap pies isn't in all that great a position to lecture others.

Just chicken foot with dumplings & some veg. They are doing the red bean & foot one on Sunday I think.

I'd have it again if it was strained to keep the feet well away from me!! The actual soup it's self was really nice & spicey.

Bones- yuk!

Ach, don't let the guys behind the counter hear that - they'll mark you out as wustastic. And next time you'll be go in they'll be offering you 'Lion Juice' or some other masculine tonic to compensate.
;)

To be fair I rarely eat the feet myself anymore. At least they're easy to find and discard too - they're the scary looking feet things after all.

Reuters - Tuesday, October 30 10:02 amMOSCOW (Reuters) - A Chinese restaurant in Moscow is being investigated for butchering stray dogs and selling the meat to diners as lamb, Russian police said on Tuesday.

"A woman reported to the police that sacks containing something alive, that was moving and whining, were being loaded into the restaurant at night," a police spokesman said.

"We went to the restaurant to check the meat... and carried out tests," the spokesman said. "We found it was of poor quality, dangerous for your health, and from an unusual animal -- that it was dog meat."

If it meant the difference between living and dying?
It worked OK for pre-historic man. I think a dog's usefulness is much more in its ability to catch you some dinner than to be served up as your dinner.
 
you also forgot the article that chinese people do kung fu fighting, gamble lots, are good at maths, have small cocks/fannies, smell of soy sauce and use panda sperm as a hair produce. :rolleyes:
 
Anyway, in regards to the OP, I wouldn't ever eat a dog. Partly because I don't eat the animals anyway, partly because of my logically-irrational but still strongly held Westerner feelings towards the mangy mutts and partly because I've never heard of them ever being treated remotely humanely - it's always starving for weeks or beating with sticks before they get offed :(
 
Hey, that last one's true. Have you never seen ads for Studioline's new PandaJism Hair gel? Sculpt, control, no sticky residue.

That's a long way to dial a takeaway!
 
As a languid veggie I'd have to be, literally, starving to even contemplate dog. It doesn't sound very nice, either and knowing what they eat!!!! Bleurgh.

Hey grasshopper, yes you with the snide slinty eyes, don't speak sense.

Old Chymaera hasn't made a fool of himself with that laughably sourced Russian article, obviously an example which could be logically extrapolated to chinese takeaways the length and breadth of Blighty

Confuscious says 'what an absolute, hopeless wanker'

:rolleyes:

More seriously, why is it almost seen as acceptable to smear, stereotype and belittle Oriental people?

cos the chinese in this country are such a small minority group.
lack of numbers. lack of representation.
in the extreme sense, it's a bit like how comedians can get away with taking the piss out of midgets or leg amputees.

very different in the states though.
 
I don't get the idea of dog farmers causing maximum fright to their quarry to 'tenderise' them, as I'd always thought that the best slaughter practices in 'normal' food animals was that which caused the least harm, as adrenalised meat is supposedly awful.

I could be talking out of my arse here, but if the best source is Brigitte fucking Bardot, then surely one must consider that there's a lot of propganda about.

In summary:

No, I haven't.

Yes, I would.

Don't think that it would be great.

i lived in hong kong for 5 years and they do eat dog there - they'd be unlikely to serve it to gwailos (westerners) tho.

I've never heard of anyone eating dog in Hong Kong itself - I guess it might happen in a few places but it's illegal and the authorities hand out some fairly tough sentences when people are caught eating dog meat.

Why on Earth should a government dictate what sort of meat one should eat?

The Japanese eat fugu, which can be deadly if prepared poorly, but they don't stop the people eating it.

I can understand the case of me not being able to eat another human, presumably because I'm not big on roadkill and to acquire other such 'meat' would surely include committing other crimes in the procurement.

Likewise, I couldn't condone eating endangered species, but apart from those two caveats, I'd say, "'go for it", and let your conscience lead you.

I don't think it should have much to do with the government, but when the law was made Hong Kong was under British rule and I guess someone got outraged at the thought of people eating dogs.

Where have I stated EVERY Chinese takeaway in Britain serves up dog?
From time to time take-aways and restaurants end up in court for serving up, dog, cat, and rat as something else.
If anyone in the regular habit of eating takeway and have done so for years it is likely they have eaten dog, cat, or as my wife has just reminded me when of a case when she was doing her nurses training at Westminster Hospital in the 1970s, rat at least once.

Cheers, thanks for the expananation, is it actually illegal in Britain, or just 'outside regulations' or somesuch?

I'd love to see proof of this.

Whilst they might have been done by the HSE or environmental health for serving meat 'unfit for human consumption', I doubt they did a fucking DNA test on every piece of meat to determine the species.

Presumably they just test them for microbial growth or some such wizardry.

The carcasses are a bit of a clue, as was the rat bone stuck in someone's throat, in the casualty department. The case my wife refered to. (1970s)
