First of all I would like to say that my collaboration lacks the intention to offend anyone, but talking about odd things when you are abroad, and regarding dogs, here is my photograph. It’s dog meat!..... I recognise that it could be a bit disgusting, but it was one of my experiences when I went to Vietnam two years ago. Before visiting that wonderful Country, I had heard that vietnamese people ate dog meat, also I had saw dogs in cages in some little towns, that's why I asked a young vietnamese man about it, and he explained us that it was true, and if we wanted, he could come with us to a specific restaurant where we could taste it. And as I’m very curious and I love to know and learn about the culture of the places that I visit….. We accepted!
At first we felt really uncomfortable, because the restaurant was located in a typical neighbourhood where you’ll never see tourists wandering, but then when we arrived at the restaurant it was worse, because all people stared at us as if we were aliens…… Then the critical moment arrived: to order the meal and to try it…. I should confess that by and large I don’t like meat, so I didn’t expect something yummy, but although I only ate 1 mm2 it was better than I thought, even it was good!

Eat dog??!! Yuck! I don't fancy that at all, although I may have eaten dog unwittingly in some Chinese restaurant somewhere :-)
ResponderEliminarI ate camel meat once in Tunisia. It was delicious, like nothing I had ever tasted before or since.
