I would think that this disqualifies him as a "Great Dane".
To: Don W
BTW, isn't "prince consort" the regal term for boy-toy? From the article:
Prince Henrik learnt Danish and changed his name, religion and nationality to marry Queen Margrethe II in 1967.

I hear they're lined up around the block to get into that fellow's restaurant.
To: Amelia
Ok, maybe not "boy-toy". Perhaps "Tenured Gigolo" would be more apt?

What is the Korean saying? "The reason dogs are so friendly is because they don't want you to find out how tasty they are."

Consorts are always spouses as far as I know. the term just means the person has no governing or ceremonial powers.

The Russian wolfhounds, Irish setters, English bulldogs, Italian greyhounds and the French poodles voted to impose agricultural sanctions on Denmark.

Prince Henrik, the prince consort of Denmark, has shocked animal lovers by declaring that dog meat - fried or grilled - is one of his favourite dishes. No Fry Dog ping!

Whenever I read news about dog meats, I'm constantly reminded of news articles in Asia that say "eating dog meat is our culture. Banning it is the frontline of Western cultural imperialism!"
I remember an article in a 1970s issue magazine by a then very elderly author, which contained a reference to dogs and Chinese people. He wrote bitterly that while the Europeans (yangren, or whites in Mandarin Chinese) treated dogs as pets and not allowing Chinese to eat them, in Shanghai during the Treaty-port era there was a big sign at the main park in the international leased sector (in practice run by the British) that sated "No entry for Chinese and dogs." meaning they (the whites) regarded Chinese as like dogs. Not that I agree with that author, who lived through the nastiest episodes of Western imperialism bully in China that lasted until WWII, but his thoughts correspond to the average Chinese of my great-grandfather's generation about differences in attitudes towards dogs among Chinese and Westerners, and Western attitudes towards Chinese back then being no different from their attitudes towards dogs. His bitterness, given the context of the time, is understandable. IMHO the era of eating dogs is now long gone, and I wouldn't eat them myself. In Chinese circles today, anyone who still want to dogs are probably over 65 by now.
