A while back I had my first experience eating dog meat. Many people from Canada or the U.S might find this disgusting, but keep in mind that many Koreans do as well. It seems like eating dog meat is culturally more of a norm for males. Those who like it, really seem to enjoy it. Some of the teachers at my school are disgusted by the thought of eating dog meat, while another said it's his favourite meat. Not only is it his favourite meat, but top food as well.
I've been meaning to experiment with dog for some time and got my opportunity when the vice-principal invited me out for dinner one night. We went to a restaurant that only served dog meat. We first had a platter of steamed dog before getting our individual bowl of dog soup. The vice-principal told me that eating dog gives male's power. Dogs do have a lot of energy and I guess consuming their flesh would transfer that energy. The meat is extremely soft with quite a bit of fat on it. I think it is the softest meat I have ever tried. It also has a very unique and strong flavour with a tad of sweetness. As I ate the dog, I kept on having flashes of the dog that I pet everyday before entering my apartment building. There is a dog that lives outside who wonders around the area. I think he is there to protect one of the big gardens. Every time he sees me, he runs over to me with his tail wagging. I usually pet him for a minute or so and continue with my day. It's like a routine we have.
Because of this bound, I sort of felt like a hypocrite for eating dog. Unfortunately, this did hinder my experience a little. I am glad that I had the experience, though I will not go out of my way to eat it again.
