Don't know about dog, but I spent 6 weeks in the Philippines and had at least one hamburger that didn't taste like beef.
Love that Monkey Meat! I crewed for the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club during the festivities accompanying our strategic withdrawl under fire from Saigon. Spent more time that I liked in Olongapo PI. Interesting times.

When people say ‘I would NEVER eat that’, I kind of remind them of eating the ‘goodies on the stick’ in Olongapo and other ‘exotic’ Navy towns of the Far East.

Think the story on ‘Mary Hsu’ in Hong Kong was she would paint the USN ships in the harbor for their garbage then separate it and sell it to the Restaurants as ‘fresh produce’.

Didn’t really bother with us ‘Normal’ Enlisted types, most wouldn’t waste the time or money to eat in any fancy Restaurant in Hong Kong, too many ‘dives’ to drink at.

Yes, the late 50’s early 60’s and beyond were some interesting times especially for the ‘Westpac Warriors’.
