The BBC would love the UK to ban all activities which they deem are not PC.

Dog meat pie sounds like it might be ok; maybe one of the ‘celebrity’
chefs could cook one on BBC daytime tv?

the bbc should support dog meat producers nd other workers...they
even have the example of o'barmy who recommends it...

trump is only allowing the law in the usa to annoy o'barmy
and his fascists but what does the snp have against
the american marxist?

"...I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and
roasted grasshopper (crunchy). Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a
brand of Islam that could make room for the more ancient animist and
Hindu faiths. He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever
he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of
tiger meat for us to share..."

Thanks to things like mad cow disease, animals raised for meat are tracked and
inspected. To get dogs in the same regime would require segregating dogs for
food and dogs for pets. Pet dogs are exposed to all human diseases some residing
in dogs.

The Swiss have been eating dog meat for centuries:

Dog meat was sold to Parisians as recently as 1910:

China and South Korea may take heat for serving dog, but it's still legal to
eat dog meat in 43 states, and it does happen...

I've visit Switzerland several times, most recently last year. It isn't
a country I think of well in food terms*. Even a Swiss I met through
business told me he thought they lacked their own cuisine and, like the
languages, borrowed from neighbours.

*Don't get me wrong, it is a lovely country etc and we (the UK) could
learn a lot from them in other ways.

I'm now curious where they borrowed eating dogs from ;-)

Eating dog in Switzerland has a long history, considered good for
arthritis but it isn't commercially available afaik.

It's available widely in Asia and considered a delicacy at Filipino
weddings where I've eaten it.

It makes you wonder how these stories develop, unless there is something
in dog meat which is good for arthritis ;-)

There used to be a saying 'up north' that, if you ate the crusts of your
bread, you'd get curly hair. It was used to encourage children to eat
their crusts. We tried it with our three (all girls). Only problem, the
fashion was for straight hair. Fortunately, they ate the crusts anyway.

I agree with you but look at the strange and wonderful things that folk
lore says is beneficial. Of course quite a few do have benefits and the
beneficial component has been ID eg Aspirin/salicylic acid and Willow bark

was for eggs but a few for the pot ;-)

Aren't they a bit tough by the time they are too old to lay? I suppose
ok for stew etc.

I prefer duck eggs to hens eggs but, as I'm sure you know, you need to
be more careful re collecting them to ensure they are fresh.

You have to hatch out a few replacements. around half will be male and you only need one cockerel, so the rest end up as coq au vin.

through business told me he thought they lacked their own cuisine
and, like the languages, borrowed from neighbours.
*Don't get me wrong, it is a lovely country etc and we (the UK)
could learn a lot from them in other ways.
I'm now curious where they borrowed eating dogs from ;-)

Eating dog in Switzerland has a long history, considered good for
arthritis but it isn't commercially available afaik.

It makes you wonder how these stories develop, unless there is
something in dog meat which is good for arthritis ;-)

There used to be a saying 'up north' that, if you ate the crusts of
your bread, you'd get curly hair. It was used to encourage children to
eat their crusts. We tried it with our three (all girls). Only
problem, the fashion was for straight hair. Fortunately, they ate the
crusts anyway.

ROTFL, at least you didn't say 'Tastes like chicken.'

You eat chickens? That's awful, what do they taste like - Bald Eagle?

Frogs legs (really).
I learned how to 'transform' a chicken from running around to oven
ready. A charming French lady who lives (or lived) in Kent on a small
holding used to run courses on rearing and killing chickens. Main aim
was for eggs but a few for the pot ;-)

You have to hatch out a few replacements. around half will be male and you
only need one cockerel, so the rest end up as coq au vin.

Why not just control the slaughter and so on as with other animals?

You are not allowed to buy or sell dog meat, and I have never heard of anyone eating it in the UK.

Generally speaking "western" culture abhors eating any land carnivore (cats, dogs, bears etc.), but not in the east, for very good hygiene reasons. Similarly many people refuse to eat [unclean] pork, because historically the meat was often riddled with harmful bacteria and parasites.

OTOH horse meat is also taboo in the UK, but not France and other European countries, but that is sentiment rather than common sense.

What we should do is eat the fucking politicians who haven't got
anything better to do than waste public money looking for a solution to
a non existent problem. It must be silly season.

This can only run. Cats, special category for pet bunnies, retirement

I buy a shoulder of goat on a regular basis, and cook it when we have
relatives for dinner. They all like it, even the grandchildren. The first
time I cooked it I asked them to identify the meat, but most decided it must
be venison or ostrich (not sure why).

It is like lamb, although has to be cooked for longer on a slower oven. I
wrap the shoulder in foil and that seems to keep it moist for the 3-4 hours
it gets, depending on the weight.

I’ve had rabbit a few times but I have never found it to taste of much.
Pigeon was ok, but so small it was a faff to prepare. Pheasant is one of my
favourites, but the wife is not keen, so I tend to buy a frozen one and keep
it for when she has gone to her sisters for a few days. Pheasant in cider
cream sauce is lovely.

I usually buy duck breast meat, slice it up and make duck chow mein. I am
trying to get as close to Chinese take-away as possible, and apparently chow
mein has few vegetables just spring onions, maybe a few chopped baby leeks
and lots of beansprouts to go with the noodles. I have been experimenting
with the mixture of soy sauce, oyster sauce, five spice and rice wine in
order to get an ‘authentic’ taste. I add a tiny bit of cornflour to this
in order to coat the ingredients rather than just sit as a watery sauce at
the bottom of the wok. My biggest problem is getting the groundnut oil really
hot without setting off the smoke alarm.

I do something similar with chicken or turkey but I've not tried it with
duck.

The problem with duck is the excess fat- the way I cook it, I get most
of it 'out'. I'd imagine that would be difficult the way you describe-
in fact it may by the duck fat setting off the alarm. Ground nut oil,
which you are using, also known as Peanut Oil, has quite a high smoke
point and is one recommended for Wok use. I've never seen a smoke point
for duck fat but it seems quite low. You could try Avocado Oil, if you
can get it. I've only seen it in a few places. It has a very high smoke
point.

Duck fat does seem to have a 'watery' part - I always make sure it is
separated off with the fat. It could be that which is causing your
problem. I'm not sure how you'd separate it off if the duck was sliced
up. I start it off, skin down, in a dry pan, spooning off the fat as it
cooks.

but only because I didn't care for it.

consider- tripe, jellied eels, ...
Goat is something I've never seen here but is rather good, not unlike
lamb. (I tried it in Pakistan.) Sheep's brain makes a pate which I

One wrap for the shoulder of goat and one to wear atop your head. (I do but

I’ve had rabbit a few times but I have never found it to taste of much.

I have heard a similar complaint. I stopped eating meat at the tender age of
eight and can thankfully little remember with full force of clarity the savour
of such fare. I leave such hideous repast to those with less delicate taste
buds and sensibilities than one such as I.

Pigeon was ok, but so small it was a faff to prepare. Pheasant is one of my
favourites, but the wife is not keen, so I tend to buy a frozen one and keep
it for when she has gone to her sisters for a few days. Pheasant in cider
cream sauce is lovely.

You sound like a pheasant plucker indeed.

Why not just control the slaughter and so on as with other animals?

You are not allowed to buy or sell dog meat, and I have never heard of
anyone eating it in the UK.
Generally speaking "western" culture abhors eating any land carnivore
(cats, dogs, bears etc.), but not in the east, for very good hygiene
reasons. Similarly many people refuse to eat [unclean] pork, because
historically the meat was often riddled with harmful bacteria and parasites.
OTOH horse meat is also taboo in the UK, but not France and other European
countries, but that is sentiment rather than common sense.

We (in the UK) 'turn our noses up' at things like frogs legs but, while
nothing special, they aren't bad (they do taste like chicken in my view,
but there isn't much meat on them).
Some people won't eat rabbit, another rather tasty meat. Ditto pigeon.

Wild rabbit is supposed to be superior to farmed rabbit but only

While not advocating eating dogs, I'm sure there would be a huge fuss

Wild rabbit has a slightly gamy flavour, whereas farmed rabbit is rather bland - like turkey breast.

You are not allowed to buy or sell dog meat, and I have never heard of anyone eating it in the UK.
Generally speaking "western" culture abhors eating any land carnivore (cats, dogs, bears etc.), but not in the east, for very good hygiene reasons. Similarly many people refuse to eat [unclean] pork, because historically the meat was often riddled with harmful bacteria and parasites.
OTOH horse meat is also taboo in the UK, but not France and other European countries, but that is sentiment rather than common sense.

I wonder how many people ate it unknowingly due to the 'horse meat scandal'?

Obviously, I'm not condoning what went on, far from it, but I don't
recall any suggestion that anyone ever commented on / complained about
the taste or even quality. Nor there being any suggestion the meat
wasn't safe.

Obviously it was passed off as something else, which is wrong, and a
good enough reason for those involved to be punished etc.

However, if someone were to say : "People ate it before with no
problems." as part of a case to sell it here, can you imagine the
reaction ;-)

I was watching one of Hugh Fernly W programmes some time back- he was
preparing some dishes based on offal. At one time, not so long ago, such
food would have been perfectly normal. Some people won't even eat liver
or kidneys. Imagine serving, say, a stuffed heart for dinner tomorrow ;-)

I'm surprised you can find them. We use a good, traditional, butcher for
special meat and, as good as they are, I'd be surprised if they had them.

I suggested we try them (me cooking) but the 'over the glasses' look
