How to say 'no' (part 2)

Well your advice (and my Bahasa) was too slow. I’ve done it. I’ve eaten dog!

I guess the voyeuristic among you might want to know what it tasted like… I understand that most random meat (frogs, snakes, snails’ etc) taste like chicken, but this was dark meat – more like beef. I guess the closest thing I’ve tasted is goat. It was kinda gristly, but that’s how they seem to like their meat here (nothing wasted etc). It was beautifully seasoned, so on the whole quite pleasant.

And morally (or whatever), how did I feel? Fine. I disengage myself from the animal I was eating (I mean do you really think about the cow, sheep or pig when you are eating?) I feel mildly guilty now, but to be honest after a week of eating strange bony fish it kinda made a pleasant change! People here don’t keep dogs as pets (since a bad outbreak of rabies a few years ago), so really it is just like eating any other animal… unless I am gonna become veggie I don’t think I can criticise.

(Sorry Zoe!)
