dogs are like delicacy in china from what I understand.
curious if people in china still eat mice. I heard 30-40+ yrs ago, it was eaten there.
Hey sirtiger: Not sure about mice. Although if someone offered me some, I probably would have said no.
I was in Zhuhai around the rural area when I first had my experience eating dog meat. As I mentioned in an earlier post, it really did taste like beef stew. The owner of this restaurant (which was actually his house but all the rooms were converted into separate dining rooms) sat next to me and told me how he raised and prepared the specific dogs. And he was REALLY proud of how he prepared his dog meat dishes. I just smiled and kept eating.
Now..... I woke up the next day wondering why my throat was very sore and burning. What my family members failed to tell me was, dog meat can really dry your throat and it's best if you drink alot of liquids during and after the meal. Great. Thanks alot. I spent the rest of the day drinking water, soda, juices, tea, etc.... just to provide some temporary relief. Good thing the irritation lessened by the end of the day. It's hard to go mongering with a sore throat.
