Say you were travelling through certain countries and somebody there offers you dog, would you eat it?

I believe I have. When I was young my father employed a large number oh Hmong workers, and they ate dog all the time. I always had lunch with them, so I'm sure I've had it at some point.

I watched a TV show many years ago where it showed how they prepared the cats. First they boil them alive (a quick dunk in boiling water) to get rid of the fur, then they cut the throat to bleed the cat out. I'm not sure why they boil the cats alive though. I think it was to preserve the flavor.

It supposedly releases a ton of adrenaline at the time of the death which supposedly increases the flavor..

I thought adrenaline toughened the meat.

I thought it was testoterone...which is why they neuter male pigs.

maybe that too, but i've been told that when you shoot a deer and it dies on the spot the meat will be more tender than if it runs around and then dies (hence the adrenaline surge).

Dogs, pigs, cows, horses, kangaroos, chickens, lambs, whales, they all are enjoyed around the world.

Only if it was a choice between that & starving, in which case I'd eat a lot of thing I wouldn't otherwise touch.
