Eating Dog Meat Helps Deal With Summer Heat
Dangogi, meaning “sweat meat”, is the term used for dog meat in Korea. Dangogi-jang or Boshintang, also known as Dog Soup, is controversial, but the North Korean’s state media has been calling it a prized delicacy essential to coping with the summer heat.
“These days workers sweating to taste boshintang can be witnessed in any Dangogi houses and traditional restaurants in the capital of Pyongyang,” the agency said.
Defectors mentioned that in North Korea dog meat has become a luxury since food shortages worsened and even the South Korean restaurants have lowered the profile on serving this somewhat odd cuisine.
WHAT NEXT CATS OR RATS.
WHAT KIND DOG ARE THEY EATING?
Eating Customs only seem strange if they are different to what you would normally have…..
Who’d have thought even 20 years ago that sushi and sashimi would become a popular dish in western countries???
In Vietnam Dog and Cats are popular dishes. People Don’t eat them because they are poor, they eat them because they like the taste. Good dog meat is more expensive than beef.
In addition You can get “Thit Cay” which I understands translate as meat from wild animals….. while you will be told this is civet or some other such animal, it is probably just dog or cat.
Not to mention all kinds of migratory birds or assorted water fowl, handily served with the head so you can identify the species……
I understand that some cultures love whale or seal blubber while others have raw monkey brains……. I think these treats are not for me……. But what a wonderful diverse world we live upon…… Just maybe learning something about my neighbors will teach me something new about myself……….
your right- it may be taboo to some but it is normal to this countries.
casual adventure…couldn’t agree with you more!
thit cay does not means meat from wild animal. It actually means dog meat.. thit = meat, cay = dog… the nothern vietnamese called dog cay and dog meat came from north vn. So instead of the word cho that normally was used for dog they used the word cay
“The best cuisine” served over the summer season!
Yum, yum!
I’ve never been happier not to be a Korean dog…
Lol…
they should eat each others these mother f…….!!!!!!! f….them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, anybody who does not see this as horribly wrong, is in my opinion f_ _ _ed up!! Do you realize how they are slaughtered..look it up!! Hope no one always u people to own a pet!
okay, i take back everything I said…. it took a year before I realized I was wrong… I’m so f_ _ _ed up!!
this sh*t is disgusting…
its wrong im vietnamese and i noe that boy am i glad i dont live there….
Get over it.
It’s their culture.
Indeed.
“Its their culture, get over it.”
Well, my “culture” is to beat the crap out of worthless insensitive jack offs. If you want, I can leave you my address and teach you something about my “culture” if you decide to drop over.
Don’t be an idiot. Just because something has been done somewhere for some period of time, does not validate it at all. You ever heard of “honer” killings. I know, “its their culture.” So, those are fine with you too. Come on.
Treat dogs as a friend or brother or sister. This is the true way to peace in our enviornment.
What? You are the one to talk. Do you treat chicken, cows, and pigs like friends?
thats normal here in the Philippines… even cats here are delicacies!
people just have there own opinions
and in my opinion
thats fucking sad to dogs.
I doubt that they just take their pet dogs and slaughter them. The dogs they serve are probably raised to be food, just like pigs and cows and chickens are raised to be food.
It’s a different culture and you have to put it into context.
In the first place i think it’s wrong to raise dogs as food because they are very intelligent creatures.This is a very high level of cruelty.
What about whales and monkeys??
We descend from monkeys actually.
It actually seems a bit sad to only eat the “dumb” animals. Since as humans, we are so intelligent and ABOVE all other creatures.
yea, in those cultures, these animals are raised differently depending on whether they’re intended for domestication or consumption. In china, the dogs which are raised for food are called cai gou (food dogs), so they’re really not that different than poultry or cattle.
I don’t think people should be against a culture’s food choices simply because it doesn’t adhere to their own menus. If you must protest, then protest about something like slaughter methods or living conditions on farms. It’s not fair to say one animal’s life is worth more than another’s simply because it’s cuter and you have one of its cousins at home lol
SAD PEOPLE POOR DOGS. DOG EATERS IN KOREA DIE DIE DIE
What is even sadder is that you have non dog eaters that defend this sick practice as being culturally acceptable.
Dog eaters everywhere should die, die, die, not just in Korea. And those that accept should suffer as well.
“The time will come when humanity will extend its mantle over EVERYTHING that breathes.”
I did not read that anyone even mentioned to help save the dogs and cats and sign petitions. What will happen when EVERYTHING is gone?
in some part of the world somewhere every amimal that is known to man is consumed. WE’RE HUNGRY! if u dont eat it, who cares? india worships COWS! how do u think they feel US eating billions of them. in Nepal they raise gerbels in their homes, not as pets, but as food. liberals are always pushing for diversity; we’ll swallow this!
Good!
Always Good!
I’ve eaten dog before.
It tastes just like any other meat I’ve tried.
I wonder why…OH YEAH because dogs are just like every other animal.
so here’s a big “get over it” to all the ignorant people
Hey f–k face, dogs and cats are not like any other animal. They have been bred for centuries to be with us.
You would be scared to go within 10 feet of a dog, if it had not been bred this way.
You hopeless piece of s–t. I suspect that most people who eat dogs and cats are flat out cowards.
Koreans are seriously phucked. I say we lob a couple of cruise missiles over there and turn the entire penninsula into glass.
I live and work in Korea and have learned that very few Koreans eat dog meat. Also when I mentioned to my class of middle school girls that Canadians and Americans eat rabbit, bear, moose and deer, the girls were completely disgusted. So, it’s a matter of culture.
Also, there are specific dogs raised to be used as meat. Same as some rabbits are for eatin’ and some are for petting.
What the hell is wrong with you? You are a teacher? This is what the kids have to settle for?
If you cannot see the difference between eating man’s best friend or a moose or rabbit, which guess what, are eaten by carnivores like dogs, than you probably cannot see how you are completely worthless as an educator. You should quit teaching before you help to screw up any young minds.
You know wife beating has a long history in Korea as well. Are you fine with that cultural tidbit as well?
Maybe we should start eating people too, they are bigger than dogs. Maybe take all the retarded children, elderly people and freshly deceased… serve them up as different flavors. If this doesn’t sound fu*ked up to you, then you are probably a dog eater. However, if you have an ounce of caring in your heart then you realize eating dogs is just as cruel as eating people. Someone that cares about you, someone who you can always talk to, is happy to see you when you get home, knows when you are sad and sleeps in your bed…. yes, I’m talking about a dog! Now if you can still say you’ll eat a dog, your a sick bastard.
I would rather see every dog eater die than to see one stray dog go without a meal. In fact, I will pray for it. Some people, heck some cultures, should just not exist, and the world would be a better place.
