A London restaurant has been shut down after dog meat was allegedly found in the freezer.

Pho Na, a Vietnamese restaurant on Old Kent Road, Southwark, closed after inspectors found the suspicious looking meat labelled as ‘goat wrapped in leaves’.

But when it was sent for analysis it was confirmed it was dog meat.

Inspectors also discovered mice droppings and cockroaches inside the establishment.

Dog meat kept the Lewis and Clark expedition alive in the early 1800s.

“I occasionally scan the ratings for the local restaurants”

That and I have occasionally looked up restaurants using the county health department complaints web page.

That gives a totally unbiased look at the establishment along with every violation that’s ever been issued.

I’ve also occasionally submitted a few complaints.

Hey, the Chinese have a little festival where they boil the dogs alive.

Back in the ‘80s I delivered floral arrangements at nice restaurants Mom supplied small center pieces to in Broward County Florida, it kept the lights on at her flower shop between holidays.

At the same time, two buddies, brothers, had jobs that took them into restaurants too, one as a county health inspector and the other as a pest control tech.

They were in restaurants, grocery stores, bars and such.
The Chinese were the worst according to them.

We mostly ate at home.
