Japan and Korea tend to have restaurants that specialize in a particular
animal. Crab, fugu, or whatever. Your business associates take you to a
dog restaurant and guess what...you're going to be eating dog. By the way
pigs, chickens and steers are also domesticated animals.

Oh, yea a snake blood cocktail in Hong Kong is also a real treat. The only
item I balked at was fish eyes. Just couldn't handle it and told my host
that I wasn't worthy of the honor. He took the hint and wolfed it down.
