Dogs as food?
- mkl 3y agoYes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_meat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_meat
- jaeckel 3y agoWhile traveling SE Asia I didn't see that very often. Besides in some rural areas (and even there), dogs turned into pets as in western "civilization" and their owners didn't want to eat them anymore.
- OfSanguineFire 3y agoWhen I was in Hanoi in 2010, in the central districts as unrural as you can get in Vietnam, skinned dog carcasses were hanging at a number of markets. If westernization has had an impact, it must be more recent than that. I’m curious to go back and see for myself.
- sampullman 3y agoMy understanding is that young people are starting to turn against dog meat consumption, but it's still very common in the north.
- Garlef 3y agoIn germany it was forbidden only in 1986. But it's been a taboo for a longer time.
- ajb 3y agoPeople will eat anything when necessary. This is a famous restaurant menu from the 1870 siege of Paris: https://www.messynessychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Menu-siegedeparis.jpg https://www.messynessychic.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Me... It contains entries such as Consommé d'Eléphant, Le Civet de Kangourou, and Le Chat flanquè de Rats
- mcv 3y agoEven rat sounds fancy in French.
- tibbydudeza 3y agoSeems the Paris Zoo soon became empty :)
- prmoustache 3y agoWhy not? Have you tasted one?
