I had been wanting to try dog for a long time. In my journeys, dog was celebrated as a delicious food in many countries. I had near encounters with dog, but for one reason or another (wrong day for restaurant, not enough time for preparation, etc.) I hadn't the pleasure. Fortunately I met a young man (I'll call him "Bill") from an upscale family in an upscale town. He considered dog one of the finest foods available, and I told him of my interest. Bill surprised me the next day. He brought me a tupperware bowl filled with a spicy meat soup. We sat and dined together over a homemade dog soup. The meat reminded me more of beef than chicken. It was dark and a bit stringy -- and very delicious. I'm looking forward to another bowl the next time I am in town.
