Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Chinese legal experts are proposing a ban on eating dogs and cats, a culinary tradition dating back thousands of years that has been increasingly criticized by an affluent, pet-loving, urban middle class.

It will be a sad day when you can no longer dine on General Tso's Schnauzer.

Or Beagle & Broccoli.

When I was in the military I was stationed in a country where they ate dog. At first I was repulsed, but then you realize that this is what they do. I am sure Indians feel the same way when we eat cows.

Some shit never ceases to amaze me. High faluten urbanites.

I see the DR is ripe for puns tonight. Between this and the woman sitting on her husband...

I hope you saw the one I left you about Meringue, oorah. It is so awful I knew you'd love it as much as I did.

Americans are closeminded in self-centered. Dog tastes quite good. To be honest, I find it quite outrageous that you can't eat dog here yet you can eat lamb.

Man's Tastiest Friend.

Chow Chow Mein

...I find it quite outrageous that you can't eat dog here ...

Who's stopping you? It's probably the only free meat source in America. Go to any pound and pick your meal. They're going to euthanize the fuckers anyway.

No, GOAT. What are you talking about?

Native Americans didn't just keep dog around for companionship.

We need to quit hounding the Chinese and unleash them from ridicule. No more biting humor... we're barking up the wrong tree.

I don't care that they eat dogs and cats.

But let's not pretend that societies who have taboos against eating dogs didn't try it at some point. If dogs and cats tasted any good, we'd all be eating them. Comparing eating dogs to eating animals that were bred to taste good is just foolish.

Excellent, GOAT. I hadn't seen that one.

I knowingly ate dog once in the PI and honestly, it wasn't that bad. It was in a stew with something like that fermented black bean paste and onions. Of course it was poodle. The rotweiller that was on the menu probably wouldn't have been so tasty

Excellent, GOAT. I hadn't seen that one.

I can't take credit. My bro-in-law tells it way too much. He is in a band now in Nashville and once was the warm up band for Three Dog Night when they played the Coca Cola amphitheatre in Atlanta in the early '90s. He told that joke before they played their first song.

Awful. I was ashamed to go backstage and meet TDN after the show.

errata:

It was the Lakewood amphitheatre, not Coca Cola (not that it makes a difference)

I've always considered this a good conversation on the matter.

I hope not! That means in addition to our auto industry, banking industry, precious metals, land on the west coast and all else - THEY'LL BE COMING FOR OUR BEEF!

WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY GONNA EAT!!??

1ST THEY TOOK AWAY MSG'S, NOW THIS!!

NEXT THING YOU KNOW THEY'LL TAKE THE LEAD OUT OF THE HOTWHEELS!

AAHSOLES...Japanese i know...

In Asia dogs are bred to taste good; they are not just mongrels found on the street. They are just another form of livestock.

I'd eat dog.
The sooner there's an Alton Brown cookbook or something on it, I'm there.

Any American self-righteous indignation would be misplaced.
We euthanize over 26,000 dogs and cats EVERY DAY. I bet if they were available for consumption, the laws of supply and demand would enable less dogs and cats to be killed and cremated.

Steak and Lhasa

Akita burrito

Jesus.

How sad.

_ I can't even properly express my consternation with this.

Oodles o' Poodle Noodles

I read an article about how the Chinese were putting aborted fetus in different foods for added protein...in '94 I think.

People who have more than one dog in China are called Ranchers and a TV show that's going off the air in China because of this ban is called "Woking the Dog!" Sorry, folks, but I needed to pass this on.

Apparently the print article I read is bunk.

hey, dog meat is good. i often have it in winter.

Soylent green is dogs...

I should be able to go to any restaurant in America and eat dog. Wouldn't it be nice if dog pounds made a profit instead of sucking money from local gov'ts.

I still think your Jackass, but if not your just as f*cked up.

Somehow a McPoodle with cheese and a large fries just doesn't sound appetizing.

It just needs a different name.

Nobody would ever order Patagonian Toothfish, but hey, Chilean Sea Bass sounds great!

Why should it bother you so much? Plenty of species are bred and grown for food; fish, poultry, sheep, pigs, beef.

I've had pet birds, and it didn't stop me from eating turkey.

Why should a dog be any different?

Vernon will eat a dog, but a dog will not eat vernon.

Because ol' Verno, the turkey won't fetch your paper & slippers or happily meet you at the door wagging it's tail feathers.


I've heard a pig is way smarter than a dog, but no one has any problem throwing back some baby back ribs and smoked pulled pork.

Probably because pork is absolutely delicious. That pig could discuss the superbowl matchup with me, and all I'd be thinking about is sweet sweet bacon.

So basically you agree with Jules?

Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charming motherfuckin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?

A fellow was jogging by a farm one day and noticed a pig with a wooden leg. Out of curiosity he went looking for the farmer and found him on the porch.

"Excuse me, sir, I was wondering why your pig has a wooden leg?" asked the jogger

"Well, that's a special pig" said the Farmer "just last year the tractor rolled over on me and that pig he drug me all the way back home and saved my life"

"but...." queried the jogger

"Year before that my daughter went into labor and that pig ran down town and fetched the doctor" says the farmer

"I was..." stumbled the confused jogger

"Yup, that's one special pig"

"Why sir does the pig have a wooden leg" begs the jogger

"Well, son, we just didn't have the hear to eat him all at once"


So basically you agree with Jules?

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my pulled pork sandwich. And you will know I am the Chef when I lay my bbq sauce upon you!

I hope they have better luck with this than the U.S. has with the ban on marijuana.
Me thinks, not so much.
Of course, a rattan cane is a hell of a motivator.
