Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Found out today that people in Korea eat dogs, orbetter said their meat. Anyhow, the point remains. So I decided togive it a try in a Korean restaurant, and it actually tasted veryinteresting. Do you think it may have something that ordinary beefwon't have? They say that dog fat that you get in the soup with theirmeat is very good for respiratory problems.
Dog meat - anyone?

It's right up there with tiger penis and rhino horn.
I also love dogs, but I have to outline that this is just a stigma. Cows are very intelligent, and pigs are extremely intelligent, but yet we treat them like shit and eat them. So the moral side of the story is not that clear - it is a matter of what you are used to.
I have eaten dog meat, and studied the topic a bit, but I would not dare to say that it is particularly good or bad. It is just meat, without substantial differences.
@stevemobster - you would be surprised, but it actually helps a lot. I don't know the exact scientific reason for that (an interesting topic to research), but I have seen it help lots of people with respiratory issues, people I know. It might be a placebo effect, but in such case it is a damn strong one. Traditional medicine should not be underestimated - there should be a portion of reasonable doubt, but lots of things there work for real.

I agree with Lev Butlerov - I don't understand why everyone eats cows and pigs, and this is not a problem, even they though they are very smart. As long as they don't steal other's pets, and breed them for food, it should be fine. Their meat is quite interesting - a bit different than beef.
I have never eaten dog meat but different countries consume different animals for food. Here in North America, we general consume chicken, pigs and cows.
However, in India cows are sacred so they would never eat a cow.
In Australia, they eat a lot of kangaroo meat.
To each their own I guess.

Pfft. The old adage of the Jewish cure for cancer - chicken soup.
The thought of eating a dog makes me sick. Where I live they are pets and I don't eat pets. If I had cows as pets I wouldn't eat them either.
Where did you get any idea about pig meat (pork) being poor on amino acids?
Sincerely, I don't think that there are any studies made on dog meat, so it is quite hard to tell in scientific terms. At least I did not get to find any study done with dog meat.
The whole 'what meat would you eat' thing is oh so cultural. The reason why so few eat dogs is we, the human race (including the Koreans) more or less adopted dogs back when we first stood up and started drawing on cave walls.
But different cultures have different approaches to their protein sources. So you can go to one place and find fried locusts and weevils on the menu and in another roast dog, mice and starlings. For the most part those cultures which see certain animals as pets tend not towards eating them.
Of course, historically speaking, if push comes to shove we will all eat just about anything. During many wars, inc WW1 and WW2, plenty of Russians and Europeans ate cats and dogs. Some (a lot) had been their pets. But they were starving so they ate what they needed to.
In terms of protein most forms, including insects, are as good as beef or close to it. Some are a bit higher in their protein content.
One of the issues many have with the dog thing is how they are treated. But if your culture sees an animal as food and not a pet then they treat the animal differently.

not really. there are moral reasons people eat certain animals.
I don't eat pig either. again it is a pet and is very intelligent.
the meat I do eat is humanely raised.. not tortured their whole lives. i also catch my own wild fish, not buy farm raised franken fish or buy wild fish (poor for environment)
this is a good point
when the rugby team crashed in the Andes mountains they ate the dead, including their own family members to survive.
they ate them raw too cause they had no means to cook them.
I would eat you in a heartbeat bro. you got a lot of size to you. trevor would be last to be eaten
