I ate some dog in Yunnan last year; it was sort of chewy, like beef a little, but not very good, at least not for what we paid for it. Sorry, dog lovers; it was my way of righting the cosmic balance, having been bitten by a very nasty chow when I was a kid.

I have a picture of a couple of dog heads in a market, which always makes people do a double-take when they look at it. Last fall I was flying back from Dublin and got to talking with a fellow behind me, who was boasting about some of his culinary exploits. Not to be outdone, I got my laptop out and showed him the above mentioned picture, which he got quite a chuckle out of. Unfortunately, a girl across the aisle from me also saw it; she was a stalwart vegetarian and was very deeply mortified, which deeply mortified me (I'm actually a very sensitive sort of guy). But it was still pretty funny, and she forgave me after a moment of shock.

I didn't show her my before and after Chinese frog picture though...(whole frog is not for me, btw)
