MM, cute lab there!!! maybe your dog would love to meet up with my pepper.. she’s a black lab.. hehehe!

i have never and will never eat dog meat though most of our korean pastors said that dogs are usually eaten in korea and not treated as pets.. poor doggies… they even go to laguna to buy dog meat.. according to them, winters are sooo cold and one way for them to maintain bodyheat is to eat dog meat… hmmm…

Re eating carnivorous animals, some scientists say mad cow started from sheep that were fed animal feed made of… hold your breath, sheep carcass! So they were effectively made cannibals! Then it crossed over to cows, then to humans.

Wow Gonzo, tenderloin tapa that costs 900/kilo! It’s almost obscene! heheh. Must taste great, though.

Best pulutan idea is spanish tapas, in my opinion. Or actually, tapas bar hopping, where you have a drink and the specialty of the house at a tapas bar then move on to the next tapas bar for their particular specialty and another drink, and so on. The bad thing is you have to go all the way to Spain to do this. But i love the variety of tapas/pinchos at a proper tapas bar.

For pinoy pulutan, i’m surprised, MM, that a foodie such as yourself would rank the rather mundane fried peanuts as one of your favorites. That’s what americans eat, for God’s sake! (im kidding :-) ).

Anyway, best pinoy pulutan? super-fresh kinilaw, preferably ordered and eaten in cebu, by the beach. mmm. also the beef tapa from aling auring’s meat stand in san andres market, fried crisp, including the fat. sublime.

Incidentally, have you tried this premium beef tapa actually made from tenderloin (i think it’s called Oscar’s) that costs around P900 a kilo? Cut super thinly and dried, the tapa takes just a few seconds to fry (sort of like frying kropek). though a bit pricey, it’s not bad for a change.

as for eating dog, aside from the obvious moral issue, i have a problem with eating the flesh of an animal that also eats animal flesh (i.e. carnivores). Somehow there is something inherently wrong with that, imo.

horse meat in Switzerland was sold like a salami cold meat….
Makes me think if the Filipinos here have ever chased the stray dogs in Athens which is a plenty

Although the Filipinos have been branded as a country of dogeaters, it’s the chinese who have turned dogmeat into a commercial product. Visit https://iso90002.en.ec21.com/GC01093296/CA01135780/Frozen_Dogmeat.html and you will see a picture of processed dog meat which looks almost like pork. So, there’s no need to run after that stray dog when you’re having a craving. You can buy dog meat clean and frozen, by ordering online.

dog meat has a certain smell…when one butchers a dog, you could smell it…even cooked, there is a distinct smell…no matter how good a cook is, there is a certain gaminess…i used to eat dog for pulutan until my childless sister adopted a dog 12 years ago and raised him as her own kid…for pulutan, go safe with inihaw na pusit or fried tokwa’t baboy…as the old beer ad goes, “kanyaman na, metung pa”…

you know, there is also a very small segment of our drinking population who are not averse to literally, “skin the cat” if you know what i mean. i’ve also encountered the hardcore lapad-drinkers who, in way of preparation for the evening’s drinking, would aim their airguns or whatever weapon they can get, to the maya bird and occassional wild kalapati. how about horse meat? tapa style pa!

I must admit, I almost jumped when I saw the word pulutan and dog’s photo on the same page! I too am one of the ones traumatized by our pet dog serving as pulutan. If you read my post, you’ll see a photo of my dad and his friends. Now further explanations needed.

Iska and Karen, I also silently wondered who will be brave enough. Of course, give it to MM to alude to it even if only in our over active imaginations. LOL!

I’m a dog lover. I had a very traumatic experience when I was younger pertaining to dog eating. I had a 15 year old dog that was old and slow. One day while standing outside of my grandparents house with him, an owner-type jeep pulled up to us. One of the men lassoed him and the jeep dragged him down the street. I was shocked and angry it was like loosing a best friend.
