Event What's with People wanting Dog meat banned in China?

It does, and no way do I want to be the guy to talk you down from your position.
But Dang! We have some big shit to discuss with those folks. Then it is not just China that eats the pooch. Philippians too. A long story there, for another day.

 

You can find some weird cults over there....the old grandpa needs a hard on once a week thing goes way back though...snake blood drinking, tiger penis soup, powdered rhino horn, all kinds of stuff....they have a thing against eating certain breeds of dogs in some parts of asia..when the last of those old perverts dies the youth will probably not keep up the weird rituals...they'll make new ones

 

My inlaws try to enforce these on me all the time

 

Hey bud, I for one realize the any mammal is meat in some culture. Most civilized countries, including China, the practice of eating dogs has fallen out of favor and is being banned. To regress in China in such a hedonistic obscenity is beyond reason. These guys doing this are not the Hmong of VN, (How also do not do this any more) or the back country poor in the Philippines. These are the new rich how can afford to eat anything they want.

As far as from a US vs China perspective...yeah, I have to agree there are more important things that need to get ironed out.

 

Ummmm....so do I admit to eating dog while living in China or not?

 

If you ever had kabobs in the night market, you've probably had all kinds of mystery meat boiled in old oil with basil on a stick....after that it all tastes like chicken

 

I ate chicken feet over there at the movies ...once

 

I loved mutton kabobs over there. Good change a lot of it was donkey meat. Either way, delicious!

 

I never enjoyed them at the movies..haha. Had them plenty though, too many bones, not enough meat.

 

I've had, not a fan of the texture

 

Stocking the boat in Mexico some years ago, preparing for the voyage to Hawaii. Stocked up on several hundred pound of stuff including some cans of Chicken.
Maybe a week later, well at sea, we opened to first can of chicken to make a dinner. Geez! The fuckin chicken was stuffed in the can, beak, Comb, feet, pin feathers and all.
Hecho in Mexico!

 

Yeah, Philippines traveling tip- don't bother asking the street vendor what his kabobs are made with. They all will say pork(to americans). The stuff I had tasted great, but it WAS NOT pork. Lol. I never did find out what it actually was. To this day, I still just hope it wasn't someones dearly departed grandmother.....

 

Here kitty, kitty, kitty............

 

I was there before they learned I guess. Perro!

 

Now it's easy to understand why Sly will never visit China

 

I'd like to hear it, when you get some time....

 

Alright, I will condense it as much as possible.
We had been in Subic Bay in the Philippines maybe a week. By we, I mean the US Navy Destroyer I served on. That was my first intro to the Philippines and Dog on a stick. Some of the guys called it Pooch Stick. I don't think any of us had heard of shish kabob in those days, so no Pooch kabob.

Anyway, about a week of this and we got sent to get a man held hostage on Island. The Island was on edge of the South China Sea, inbetween that sea and the Sulu Sea. In between Palawan to the north and the Island of Borneo, then called the Dutch East Indies, now Sabah, part of Malaysia.

When we neared the area, we kept the ship out of sight behind another Island and I went ashore at night to see what was up and begin to figure out how to get this guy.
The first thing I want to know is, do they have dogs? Nope, so things get a whole lot easier. They have Cocks and PeaCocks that will raise a ruckus, but not good on watch like a dog.
Anyway we got the job done and I was thankful for no dogs.

Had done a similar job the year before on the other side of the South China sea, in what we called IndoChina, no dogs there either but I had not been to the Philippines yet, so I did not know why.
I know from History now that the place was Vietnam but, we had charts for IndoChina, so that is what I knew.

It matters little what the name of the place is though, most of the ring around the South China sea is it's own culture, regardless of the what the Political map looks like.
Mulims fisherman and sometimes pirates when the opportunity arises. Infidels captives are a cash source when the opportunity comes. I think dogs are preferred to pig on the stick. It's alright with me.

 

In Subic we were always told it was monkey meat.....but it coulda been anything.
