Read "Undaunted Courage" by Stephen Ambrose.
Those guys on the Lewis and Clark expedition were on the edge comparable only to today’s astronauts.
They ran out of meat, and resorted to buying dogs from Indians. By the end of the journey they preferred Dog to Elk. The pet Newfoundland Lewis and Clark carried along on their journey must have had some sleepless nights.
I wouldn’t eat dog myself, but those that want it, (Koreans), should be able to order it. |

I’d eat just about anything if I had to. |

I thought dog was a Korean dish.
And what about cat? They’re not pulling that?

Nope - the Newfoundland ate dog right along with them, such that either Lewis or Clark (I can’t remember which) used to refer to it as "cannibal". |

I thought dog was a Korean dish. Chinese eat it too. When I lived in Taiwan in the early ’50s right after the Nationalists came over, we were told to keep a watch on our dog closely or he’d disappear into someone’s pot. |

I’ve had dog in China. Its quite boring, i.e. nothing special. I don’t see why they don’t continue to serve it - just make sure its free range and slaughtered humanely. (Though I understand some dog lovers like the meat to have a lot of adrenaline flavor and beat the dog before killing it.) One of the reasons to travel is to try exotic foods, no?
In Taiwan, dog is rarely eaten now, but is considered a winter-time delicacy that helps you if you’re sick. Taiwanese also believe black dogs to be tastier than others. That said, no Taiwanese person I have met has eaten dog, except for a couple guys who had it in the army. They were shooting stray dogs and cooking them while you’re bored on beach watch duty in Kinmen. The young people, especially women, find it gross. I wonder if it was more popular in the 50’s when times were tighter.

p.s. The Cantonese are the real crazy eaters in China and they do eat cat, but again, its a novelty type food. There is some Chinese saying about "wolf’s heart and dog’s lung" supposedly as the two meats that cannot be somehow cooked or seasoned to taste good, i.e. horrible things by nature. |

I wonder if it was more popular in the 50’s when times were tighter. Possibly. Possibly a carry over from the mainland that came with the refugees. Perhaps over the decades as Taiwan became more Westernized and richer, the need was less prevalent and the desire went with it.
But as a youngster who loved his pup, I do remember the warning quite clearly. |

The Vietnamese also eat dog.
I once had a parka with a fur-trimmed hood, made in China. Every time our dog got near it he would sniff the fur. My wife decided she (i.e. we) would never buy anything else from those barbarians. (And no b*tthead jokes!) |
