my first time

so, eventful week? sure, i suppose.

i had my first time eating dog.

yes, man's best 4-legged friend. lassie, goofy, pluto, bruno, rover, scooby-doo, deng~

was it an accident? did i know what i was getting into?

of course. i was out eating with my korean friend at his now-favourite korean restaurant. previous time he wanted to order it but didn't know that i was willing to try it. this time i told him that it was okay so we ordered a dish of it.

initial impression - different.

the meat taste is okay i guess. just different than anything i've ever had before. kind of a pungent smell/taste that is like lamb, but in a different sense. the meat itself though is pretty stringy and chewy. maybe if it was braised in a stew it would have been a lot more tender. we had it on a copper plate with some sauce and vegetables, cooked right in front of us.

... i think.

well when the meat came it was already brown. honestly i hope it was precooked before or something because it didn't really change colour when we cooked it. i thought it would be red like pork/beef/lamb, deng.

after a while of eating it i broke out in a sweat and felt really hot. my friend told me that was normal since eating dog is good for men and warms people up in the winter. something i really didn't want. it made me sweat and feel so hot that when i got home i was itching like mad. my other friend said it probably gave me fleas, or i started growing fur.

anyways, i don't think i'll continue eating it on a normal basis. i bet it's 'yeet hay' or something that makes you really hot. nothing special and it's more expensive than any other type of meat at the restaurant. so unless my friend wants to eat it again (which i highly imagine he will), i won't encourage him to order it again.
