There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
HOPE THIS DOESN'T OFFEND ANYONE

I will never forget on my honeymoon my wife & i were in taiwan for a few days staying at her cousins, so i joke about eating
dog and she says 'no they don't do that here anymore, it's been about 4 or 5 years'. that was in 2004.

Gotta say...
There are just certain animals we don't think about eating here....but in other parts of the world they have different ideas. It's not a health or dietary issue after all we will eat Bambi but not Lassie, Kitty or Flicka. Guess we are just the ones that don't eat pets...:dontknow: definitly not liking their choices....

My who brother lives in the Philippines, told me how his dog ran away, and he offered a reward if anyone found the dog. All his friends told him not to waste his time looking for the dog, that it was eaten (I forget the word they used), but he never gave up hope. A week later the dog was found, and returned.
I asked him about dog being eaten there, and he said while it is now illegal to eat dog. It is still done by some because they grew up doing so, and when you are hungry you will do anything to eat.

I like our ways better. Glad we don't have to go that far down the food chain for sustenance. :thumbup:

I am also one of the few that does not like wild game. I have had bear and moose in my yard. I shoot them with my camera if I can. Squirrel and deer--have tried them, but don't like them either. :thumbup:
I guess I am mostly a cow, pig, chicken, and fish type of person. :roflblack:

I like some wild game more than others. Elk is an all time favorite. Squirrel and snake and other rodents you can keep. We have venison and boar in our freezer most of the time thanks to very good sporting friends of ours.
Another animal most western countries do not consume is horse. But its very different in other parts of the world. Things developed differently there. I was recently on an extended business trip in Kazakhstan. Horse meat is normal if not expensive there. It can be found in supermarkets. I was pushed repeatedly while there to try it. On my last night in country we went to a very nice restaurant and again I was chided to try. I gave in. While I will never get over the mental hangups with it, I can say it would be a very close second to Elk. It was very good. Most in our traveling party still would not try.

I think it helps if you keep our origins somewhere lurking near your preconceptions. nojoke
We evolved from a start where you either ate... or you were eaten! :yikes:
Guess which side I chose to remain on! :thumbup:

Yuk!!!! How about some warning with the link?
Or Thumper!
In parts of Peru they raise guinea pigs for food. It's called cuy (pronounced "KOO-wee"). I visited a home, more like a cabin, with dirt floor. The cuy were in a small pen in the corner. The family cooked outside and slept in a loft. I also got to taste that local delicacy!

See Post #9... :clap::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:
Going back to dogs..... (& btw, I have witnessed this first hand.....) the thing that really gets me is that in (some? maybe most?) 3rd world rural areas where dog has been known to feature on the menu, the animals that eventually grace the dinner table frequently help keep the errmm...... let's just say 'human waste' from polluting the countryside! :yikes:
So even if you might be prepared to chance tasting it, the very first time you visit a tiny rural hamlet & see a kid (or an adult!) just squat in the street to void some waste, then stand up & call the local dog pack over to clean it up will be the very last time you even THINK that you might be able to gag down even a tiny morsel of dog meat!! :shocked:
From there on in during that particular 'back country trip', I just went vegetarian! :sour:
Mind you, I felt somewhat more nauseated when I discovered exactly why the Sherpa's who suck on a small smooth pebble to keep their mouth from drying out too much at high altitude always carry TWO pebbles & scrupulously keep them separated..... and why they will NEVER just pick up a pebble from beside the track like I did.... once.... to their horror!! And mine!! :shocked: :shocked:

I wanted to
When I was stationed in South Korea I wanted to try dog, now before I get blasted. First, I'm a dog loving person and have a beautiful boxer I would never think of eating, the dogs eaten are raised for just that they are not household pets, no different than raising cows for consumption. You can read Wikipedia and they will say, labradors, retrievers, and even household pets are consumed.first off Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information.
My personal experience: Not far from where I lived was a dog farm, I won't say the conditions were the best, but it was not like some of the Chicken farms, or a particular VA farm (that deals in ham) I have seen. The dogs were small and generally white (kind of like a Spitz).
It is not sold in every restaurant or store and is quite hard to find unless you know a local that can get it or tell you where. As a westerner, it is extremely difficult to get.
Why did I want to try it? I like most game meats and enjoying trying different stuff, I was in Canada recently and tried horse, does not mean I will go to the local farm and off someone's horse. It was on the menu so I gave it a try.
