When you eat Chinese, are you sure it's beef and chicken and not dog?

    The rest of the zebra was ground up and sold to Taco Bell suppliers.
     
  2. Thanks a lot. Before last night, I hadn't eaten Chinese in years cuz my wife always feared it was cat. Well, I went Chinese last night because it was just me and the kid and now I gotta read this.

    Just in case, though, I ordered shrimp for the kid.

    I guess I can stomach the possibility of cat. Afterall I eat hotdogs and not the beef or turkey kind.

    I ate a rabbit in Paris. Pretty good actually.

    Pretty sure I've had dog or cat at a Chinese joint in NYC.
    It was OK, but the meat in cheap Chinese food is always terrible and not always identifiable.

    That only works if you know you are eating rabbit...

    Ever read Dickens? The Cat's Meat Man? That veal they used to serve in Merry Old England...or weal, as Sam Weller would have said...

    A wartime English poem:
    Oh kittens, in our hours of ease
    Uncertain toys and full of fleas,
    When pain and anguish hang o’er men,
    We turn you into sausage then.

    And goodnight, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are.

    I've eaten rabbit in Newark. I have never had dog or cat at a Chinese restaurant whether it is in NYC, Jersey, DC, San Fran, Philly, Toronto or China.

    I do not understand people that have no problem eating pork, beef or chicken and then saying dog or cat is gross based on the animal.

    I think the original story boils down to how much dog meat was in the refrigerator. If it was a small amount then it probably was for the family. If was a large amount, maybe the food is being substituted in.

    Here's the explanation: People are irrational. Dogs and cats are sympathetic animals. Chickens and pigs aren't. Cows? Well, I got no explanation for them. At any rate, the bottom line is if you're hungry enough, you'll eat what's available. If it's the dog or you, I'm thinking the dog loses if you're the one making the choice.
