After seven months of eating nothing but salmon, crab, shrimp, prawns, halibut and tuna, I'm looking forward to some Slab of Lab, German Shepherd pie and roasted Rottweiler.

last time i ate dog meat i felt well ruff...

... you must be barking mad to eat it..

unless its of a good pedigree (chum)

Go to Sakhon Nakon. Plenty of dog meat restaurants there. Let us know what it tastes like so the next time we are eating venison or the like, we will know we are not being hoodwinked.

Dog Gone If I Know

Was visiting a shop by the side of a busy road near Sakhon Nakorn, and a dog was fatally struck by a passing vehicle just a few meters from where I stood. Less than one minute after the yelping died down, I turned around again and the animal was nowhere to be seen. The shop keeper, seeing my puzzled look, just smiled at me and said one word. "Dinner"

tenderised too

I know what you mean. One of my girl friends came from Sakhon Nakon and I stayed there for about 2 weeks in 1997. I only saw one farang in the whole time I was there and he was an unsociable Vietnam war vet. My girl friend wouldn't eat dog meat, but her brother liked it. Most often we ate whatever her brother could kill or catch. Sometimes it was snake, sometimes it was fish and sometimes it was lizard.

You have my deepest sympathies, Ian. I just spent a month in Canada and suffered terribly from the lousy food there. Couldn't wait to get back. Seven months you've been there! How very sad.

I think it has been mentioned it can bought somewhere along the road south of Hang Dong. Not sure about restaurants there but perhaps some vendors.

Ask a local and let us know.

I would be interested to try it prepared as well as snake dishes. Can't be a vegetarian everyday.

you're one sick puppy.

I've eaten various kinds of snake and lizard, barking deer, wild pig, horse etc. but never eaten dog. Never had the opportunity or the inclination. The house hound would never forgive me.

I am looking at my lab as I read this...

The thing is they are such greedy animals that should I die in my house, I think she may well start eating me until my body is discovered.

With a little milk and sugar...

I guess it would be no worse than eating horse meat, or any beast that might have been a pet. My ex-wife would never eat rabbit because when she was small her Portugese family ate Maria's pet bunny.

"but never eaten dog" ...so far as you know !

Isn't it said to be a popular joke to watch the farang try the "veal"/"goat"/whatever which is really man's best friend?

Ian: try China. The full range of canine genera (glad I did not need to write, "genuses") is available there, amongst countless other delicacies.

I've got deer in my back yard all the time and they are almost like pets. I keep telling them I'm going to make soup out of them some day, but they just ignore me...

" One drumstick por favor..."

oops forgot the picture..

Hanoi Hot dogs...

Tried it once at one of the hill tribes. Found it to be very stringy and tough and gritty from the ash. One more old dog that won't be taught any new tricks.

If you name it you should not eat it.

YUM YUM

then wash it down with a smoothie

the skin looks nice n crispy like piglets roasted on a spit

I remember the term 'road kill', but dinner is more refined term.

YOU WANT TO DO WHAT?

One problem we don't have here in Ho Chi Minh is stray dogs barking and being a nuisance.

I've never had the inclination to hunt down a dog restaurant either here or when I was in Seoul but if someone served it up I'd certainly try it. However what I've heard about it agrees with BEENTHEREDONETHAT, it is very tough and stringy.

Get the hint about eating dog?

Jeez, Rass.

You must have missed out on the marvelous poutine on the BC Ferry to Nanaimo....

Honestly you don't have to go all the way to Sakhon.. There are some opportunities in the Sanpatong area.

Yeah, right, Micky G. Just to prove I sincerely meant what I said, here's a comment I made on Facebook as of yesterday.

It is quite odd . . . and fortunate, for me, as I live here . . . that the food in Chiang Mai, which is a city of not that great a size, in a semi-remote corner of Southeast Asia, is in general far, far - let me say that again, FAR - better than that in Canada.

And I don't meant just Thai food, which would of course be true. I'm talking Mexican food, Japanese food, Italian food, even f***ing sea food, for which Chiang Mai, distant as it is from the sea, holds no inherent advantage.

I know I should just consider myself lucky, but I'm still irritated at what I went through.

Aside from being troll bait, this topic is closed as it has nothing to do with Chiang Mai.
