    More of a culture shift. And I think it was traditionally eaten in tight economic times, not because there was any significant meaning or quality in dog meat.

      it actually tastes pretty damn good, somewhere between lamb and pork, imho.

        Can confirm, tastes good. This was in Papua New Guinea, the dog was donated to a function to be eaten because it kept killing people’s chickens.

        What’s funny is some tribes will eat dog and not cat, others eat cat and not dog, and they both think the other is weird for their choice.
