Would you eat Dog or Cat meat?

_blank_

Simple enough question.

A few countries cuisine's offer Dog and/or cat meat as a foodstuff.

Would you try it?

Once?

What if you liked it?

Would you go back for more?

Furthermore, would it be illegal to open a Dog or a Cat Farm here in Ireland for the purpose of supplying meat to the market?

Me?

I'd certainly try it, having sampled Croc, Ostrich, Possum, Camel and Snake in the past, I'd certainly not be averse to trying Dog/Cat meat.

Please note, I don't really like dogs, but my mother does have a pet cat. And no, I wouldn't eat her pussy.

I'm not talking about going out and eating someone's pet either, specifically bred animals only.

All jokes about your local chinese takeaway I'm sure are hilarious.

I have no doubt i have on my travels without knowing but i would not intentionally eat either of them.

But you think it's ok to eat young cow, baby sheep and chickens?

raptorman

I'd have to be hungry and have nothing else to eat.

ntlbell

yup, i don't see why cats and dogs get some special sort of treatment.

I'd eat any animal, I'd eat human meat too if i wasn't going to go to prison for it

Mr.Lizard

It'd be rude not to.

I would never go as far as cat or dog. They are just domestic animals in my eyes and are not necessary in our diet. I wouldn't judge another culture on how they were raised though. If it is something that is traditional in another person's eyes, why judge?

Cats:- yeah, if I was hungry enough.
Dogs:- not unless I was really hungry - like if I missed breakfast and lunch and it was then tea time then yeah fukc it.

I think we usually only eat the animals that are too stupid to not run away. We're essentially a lazy species as well as a hungry one.

so if it's a wild dog?

*WE* decided to make them domestic animals

I have cats so I couldn't intentionally do it even though I eat cattle. Hypocritical, I know.

I'd also rather eat something that subsisted on grass, and not rats, recycled horse-meat and birds.

This thread reminds me of an ole classic...

Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy mother****er. Pigs sleep and root in ****. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense enough to disregard its own feces.
Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.
Jules: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charming mother****in' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?

If while travelling, yes I would sample it - I'm always open to new things while travelling. Do as the locals do, I say.

And this is coming from someone who was vegetarian for 5 years!

Karl Hungus

Probably, yes. But I wouldn't go out of my way to sample it.

Yeah, i'd probably try wild dogs. Suppose that would allow me to know what they taste like. I know we make them pets but i wouldn't be able to tear myself away from the idea that's i'm eating something that's in a way part of a family now.

What about you? Would you eat them without hesitation?

He's not asking to eat your _own_ dog

just dog in general

special breed and sold in restaurants i guess so it'd be as common as getting a fish n chip

Yes, but our culture views dogs (in general) as domestic animals. So whether my dog or someone elses, no i wouldn't go out with a pitch fork and pierce a random strange dog to roast for dinner.

I know i'm going to regret this, and i'm lowering myself to a horrible place, but you'd give your mothers pussy a bash? I don't know whether to call the SPCA or Incest is Best support!
Anyways, i'd have very little problem eating them, tis just another animal really, don't see the difference!

Really? That's a huge disappointment.

So, would you eat dog or cat?

Jaysis, I was specifically referring to farmed animals, not domestic pets, your's or any one else's.

Specially farmed animals, bred for consumption.

They eat deep fried Guinea Pigs in South America.

I'd try them too.

that sounds nice too, with a decent mustard nyom

biko

Sure, if it was prepared nicely in a stew or similar.
I've had croc, kangaroo and horse meat before. Was OK.

Gummy Panda

Dog - yes, in south korea i would. Wouldn't go looking for it though.

Cat - Don't know if this eaten outside of china and from what i've read, the ones in china are domestic animals robbed from families.

AckwelFoley

Yea. I eat "cat" quite alot.

i like to have it ran under the shower and douched out first.

TPD

Yup to both, and probably many more besides. I have an unbiased diet.

ART6

If it's made of meat it's edible, unless it's human in which case it needs to be hung for a few days to tenderise.:D

A bunch of Filipino's that work with me were asking me about that sort of theng, they said they'll basically eat anything at home and were asking me if I've ever tried dog meat.

I replied no, so they asked if many people back home ate it, when I explained a lot of people at home wouldn't eat it because it was domesticated and people though dogs were intelligent they found it hilarious.

Yeah i'd eat dog or cat its all meat at the end of the day. Just meat that tends to live in peoples houses.

Have eaten Dog 3 times now, its good. Depends on the restaurant, if you do go to try it personally I had it twice in small private restaurants and once in a kind of franchise place. Avoid the franchise place.

Have also eaten live octopus, skinned and grilled live eel, boiled silkworm, fried grasshopper, pigs feet, chickens feet, cow intestines (cooked and raw), cow liver (raw), raw crab, jellyfish (yes I was surprised too, you can eat them) ...oh and a pot noodle but that was dodgy.

Generally dog meat is actually quite expensive so its highly unlikely anyone has ever eaten it without specifically going out and looking for it.

I mean honestly, you do see the difference in size ? Your not going to get many sweet and sour 'pork' dishes out of a dog.

Dog is expensive. Cows and pigs are cheap for the amount of meat you get.

Mahatma coat

have tried dog meself, rather tasty, the one I got was a very dark meat, but that might have had something to do witht the preparation

Roo is one of my favourite meats

actually Yaaaaay Australia, we have the only edible coat of arms

mr kr0nik

So leading on from this...

Cat food or dog food???

Captain Ginger

I tend not to eat the animals I have sex with.

aw noooo yuck yuck yuck. I can't even bring myself to eat lamb - poor babies

mayordenis

I find Lamb and Rabbit cute and delicious, so I assume cats and dogs, especially puppies and kittens would be just a treat.

I tried some sort of dog sausage (inb4 PENIS) in China. It was nice. And it even had an organic sticker on it =o In fact most livestock in China are cared for properly and the videos you've seen of abuse and cruelty represent a small portion of the industry. The people that make those videos are usually the ones against the industry as a whole.

It's easier to breed cats and dogs for food than sheep and pigs, in some places.. because of different resources etc.

We don't have Hindus bugging us about eating cows!

Ross_Mahon

Can anyone describe what it tastes like?
