...In the Houston area, a wide rumor is going around of the chinese restaurant: "Woodlands House" having dog meat available for customers! Has anyone else heard this incredulous tale. At first, I brushed the suggestion off, but I am not so sure?!?.. ------------------ I'm just a nut, trying to get a squirrel!

EUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!! Well in China they eat Dog Penis! It is suppose to be an aphrodijac(what the hell is the spelling?). It is said to make women more lusty ! In Denver they eat something called Buffalo Oysters. They are actually buffalo testecales!!!!!!!!! In India and France people eat goats brain. I have had it and it is actually pretty good ------------------
Roxran, I do not buy that...I have been to The Woodlands House, though. My father-in-law and brother-in-law have eaten dog before. I hear the tail is the best part. et all, My question is this...why is eating dog "gross"? If you eat other animals what does it matter? Why make such a value judgment? ------------------ Whitey will pay.
Rocky Mountain Oysters, and yes they are buffalo testicles. I went with my parents once, and before the appetizers came out, I went to the bathroom. When I came back, my parents had me try something. Turned out it was Rocky Mountain Oysters. They're not bad, but not something I'd go to The Fort (the resteraunt) for. That said, if any of you guys are in the Denver area, head over to The Fort. GREAT steaks and the atmosphere is great. Warning -- it is pricy though. ------------------ Nuggets4 Please help us get Dan Issel fired!!! Save The Nuggets!!! Sign The Petition!!!
Um. . . I hope you guys aren't just now hearing about this. They were accused of this like a year ago. Haven't been back since. -Turbo

Why, If you don't order dog, how will it affect you? Do you think they will try to trick you? Woodland House is not very authentic...that is why I do not beleive such stories. ------------------ Whitey will pay.
If they had an infrastructure that could provide dog-meat more efficiently and cheaply than the meat they advertise, then I could see how you could have an inkling of a doubt. However, I don't think such an industry exists around here so it doesn't make any money-making sense to do it. How would they go about doing it? Would they have their cooks comb the alleys for unsupervised dogs, hack them to death and drag them to the restaurant? Of course not: the meat would be far too tough to be salable. They'd have to have some sort of dog-farm where they could produce puppies, make sure they don't exercise too much and slaughter them at an early age. They could buy from puppy-mills but even the most unscrupulous operator should wonder why they kept coming back for more puppies. And how much would they have to pay to make it worthwhile for everyone involved? Can puppy mills produce that volume of dog for under, say, $4/lb.? How much labor is lost from having to process the dog completely in-house? They'd be as big as chickens, probably, but the cooks would have to kill and skin the animals themselves, in addition to butchering, deboning and cooking the thing. Is it really financially feasible -- not to mention so feasible as to be worth the inherent risk -- to do all this instead of taking advantage of highly-developed and very efficient suppliers of beef, chicken, pork, lamb, etc.? ------------------ RealGM Gafford Art Artisan Cakes
JV, I don't know if you intended to do this, but that was one funny post! You sound like you've been thinking this idea through. ------------------ Behad Sergeant at Arms of the Clutch BBS
I ate Kangaroo the other night at Sierra; does that count? I expected that for such an athletic animal, that the meat would be tough. Surprisingly, it was very tender. ------------------ stop posting my damn signature
Me? Eat a dog? Only once!!! And if you ever eat one, I recommend marinating the meat for one hour in the mixture below: This varies depending on how big the dog is. Two cups Soy sauce One cup vegatable oil The juice from two lemons 1 tspn. pepper 2 tblsp. season salt MMMMMMMMM doggie! ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

I did give it quite a bit of thought while I was writing, which is partly why the structure is so poor. I should also mention (or should I?) that dog has also been bred for consumption in Mexico. They had a specific breed, now extinct, that was used for meat. As a piece of racist rumor, I find the chinese eating dog especially ridiculous. Not because they don't -- because some Chinese do eat dog -- but because of the fallacious (sp?) conclusion that they'll stop at nothing to eat your dog. I love steak; does that mean I cannot be trusted with someone's cow? ------------------ RealGM Gafford Art Artisan Cakes
