Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 That's interesting about the West African tradition of eating dog meat on certain occasions. As a Korean (cultural tradition of eating dog-meat on special occasions) and someone who has eaten the meat of canines on two occasions, I can say that it tastes like frog meat... And in Korea, big hairy (sheep-looking) dogs are used and the tradition is that you eat dog meat on the first day of summer, the height of summer and the last day of summer. These are called the " dog days of summer " . The dog meat is cooked in a skillet with a lot of cayenne pepper. The texture is soft, high fat content and is very invigorating. Dog meat is considered one of the most " yang " of all meats and with added spicyness and eaten on the most yang days of the year, it does 2 fold: 1. makes you sweat out the heat 2. gets you through the winter. By the way, dogs are considered sacred as food, but are not pampered like here in America. Except as status symbols, in the richer neighborhoods of Seoul, people dress up their dogs and show them off at the park. Otherwise, if you want to be re-born as a dog, be reborn in America.
