24 thoughts on “Dog”

  1. In many parts of the world, people don’t have the luxury of having disposable meat. When my wife was growing up (poor) in the Philippines, they sometimes had a dog as a pet. When the time came, it ended up in the pot. They were about as sentimental about their dogs as farmers/ranchers are about their livestock.

    I’m told dog adobo is delicious. I’m also told short-haired dog tastes better than long-haired dog. I won’t speculate as to why.

    BTW: when my wife hears of people spending thousands of dollars on medical bills for their pets, she just shakes her head and says, “Americans are crazy.”

    1. Yeah we have the luxury of being able to take care of other living things besides ourselves. Guess I’d rather be crazy than poor.

    2. And we very well may be putting our dogs in a pot if Obama continues to have his way with destroying the economy.

    3. Larry J,
      that does and did happen. But I used to eat in a Korean Restaurant in Olongapo City, in the Philippines, and those dogs were raised to be food. Many countries were ‘exotic’ meats are eaten it’s not just because times are rough.

        1. “A 7,000-name petition was filed to the commissions of the cantons, who rejected it, saying it was not the state’s right to monitor the eating habits of its citizens.”

          They should be glad that they don’t have a certain Burgermeister Bloomberg on those commissions! Salted, dried dog doesn’t sound ‘healthy’ in the Burgermeister’s world.

  2. If Asian dogs aren’t for eating, why did they name one breed a “Chow”?

    Anyway, here’s a nice Indonesian Grilled Dog Recipe

    Procedure:

    1.First kill the dog as humanely as possible. To verify if the dog is dead you can cut the tendon between two of the digital pads of a paw and check for a response.

    2.Burn off the fur over hot charcoal.

    3.Carefully remove the skin while still warm and set aside for later. (It may be used in other recipes.)

    I wonder if the White House chef knows the trick about cutting paw tendons to see if the dog yelps? I’ll bet he does.

  3. Sometimes Fido has to be sacrificed for the Common Good.

    But evil capitalist Oliver (“Daddy”) Warbucks never ate Sandy.

  4. I was wondering if someone would rescue B-Ho from this fiasco, and sure enough it has happened. He’s gotten the endorsement of Michael Vick.

    What….?

  5. I think this is more a case of something we DON’T eat, than a case of something they DO eat. But do they? I’m doubting the story.

    Why would he be eating dog, an animal many Muslims won’t TOUCH? Muslim cabbies here, Canada and in Europe don’t want service dogs in their hack, because it’s considered unclean. And if my sources were right way back when I first learned this, it’s because they’ll eat carrion. It’s why they don’t eat pigs.

    But on dog, well, they won’t touch it, or own a dog, but they’ll eat it anyway? If so, who kills and butchers it?

    I think Mr. Obumble put that in the book to sound like a worldly, knowledgeable person, and to have a connection with cultures that do eat dog.

    2. Indonesian Muslims won’t eat dog (they’re haram), but some other Indonesians will, including Obama.

      The passage in his book says he thought dog was tough. He was mistaken. It’s just that he’s a pu**y who needs his meat cut into little bites for him.

      1. I thought his Step-Father was a Muslim, George, just like his father was. But looking it up in several places, it says Soetoro was not a devout Muslim. Wikipedia quotes Obumble’s book, saying his step-father had room in his Muslim life for Hindu and Animist beliefs.

        I’m guessing he was in all of it for the religious holidays?

        So I guess they did eat dog, but they just didn’t know how to cook it. It shouldn’t be tough. A little stringy maybe sometimes, like a good pot roast.

        …uuuummmmuhuhuh…(slobber slobber)….pot roast….uuuhuhuhuhuh…..

        And I like my spicy stewed dog on steamed buns with kim chee and God help me, ketchup. In the Philippines back then, Hunt’s Ketchup was the go to sauce.

        I’ve eaten, at least, my weight in lumpia, with Hunt’s Ketchup on the side.

        Just like Ranch Dressing is here, and now.

        1. I think the passage in the book (as quoted on some website) said that he practiced a form of Islam common there that allowed certain pagan and Hindu beliefs. I’m guessing this dietary practice was part of it.

        3. Did you ever try banana ketchup? I like it better than tomato based ketchup. But really, I prefer salsa over ketchup any day.

          My wife makes really good lumpia, but it’s a lot of work so we don’t do it very often. Her chicken and pork adobo is fabulus. I’ve had many other Filipino dishes like pancet and lechun, too. When we go to a Filipino party, there’s always a lot of food – some I’ll eat and some I won’t. No, I have not and will not eat balut (sp).

    1. Happiness is a warm puppy – with a side of fries.

      No, I didn’t come up with that but I wish I did.

  9. It might surprise people attacking Romney for putting his dog in a dog carrier on the roof of his car that it is very common to put dogs in dog carriers and to strap those carriers in all kinds of places like the back of a pick up, in a trailer or stacked in the belly of a plane.

    And does anyone remember the 80’s? Strapping cargo to the roof of your car for vacations was bigger than parachute pants.
