Wouldn’t bother me. Dogs, franks, sausages, burgers, steaks, whatever. If they scrape clean the cook surface and make an effort to keep things separated I’m happy.

I mean actual canine dogs, as eaten in a lot of Asian countries.

  I wouldn't care. Rats, insects or something like dog food on the other side would may bother me so I think I get the point.

  Please list the "a lot of Asian countries".

    Not the parent and not taking any side in this discussion, but I was interested in looking this up, so here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog#As_food https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog#As_food "Dog meat is consumed in some East Asian countries, including Korea, China and Vietnam, a practice that dates back to antiquity. It is estimated that 13–16 million dogs are killed and consumed in Asia every year." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_meat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_meat "In the 21st century, dog meat is consumed in some regions of China, South Korea, Vietnam, and Nigeria and it is still eaten or is legal to be eaten in other countries throughout the world. [...] It was estimated in 2014 that worldwide, 25 million dogs are eaten each year by humans." I guess if what you took exception to was the "a lot" part, then three Asian countries might indeed not qualify as "a lot".

      Yes, my point was that 3 is not a lot and it's not even that mainstream there. I don't know if there was an additional undertone in the original comment, but either way it was factually wrong. Dog meat consumption is really not that high.

    Why be defensive about facts. I don’t think anyone here would look down on those countries for it. The criteria for which exact species of plants animal and fungi is ok to eat is entirely arbitrary and regionally specific.

      Exactly. I don't understand why Americans, for example, eat pigs every day and think nothing of it but are horrified by the idea of eating a dog. What's the difference?

      Fact is that it's actually not that many countries. I also don't look down on the practice. I hear that in Korea therr are specific dogs bred for consumption and quite tasty.
