MAN'S BEST MEAL

I could finish writing about my travels through Taiwan and Hong Kong (and how amazing those places are and how much I've fallen in love with them), but instead I just want to let everyone know that I've FINALLY eaten dog...and it was delicious.

The taste is comparable to lamb, but it had its own distinct (doggy) flavour. The meat was served in a soup, and it was incredibly tender, and I'm guessing that's a sign of how well the dogs are beaten before they're skinned and cooked. The fatty pieces of meat just disintegrated onto your tongue, releasing all the delicious spices in which the dog meat was cooked. The broth sopped up the lingering dog-flavours that were released when it was cooking, which was nice for when the broth was all that was left.
