Bosintang (soup)

Dog Soup is called, Gaejang, Gajangkuk, or Gujang, Gujangaeng,
Guyoukgeng. It has been called Bosintang from the later part of 1940,but during
the period of the 1988 Olympic games, it was banned to use the name of
Bosintang, so its name was replaced by Youngyangtang, Sacheoltang,
Mungmungtang. But nowadays, the name of Bosintang is widely used instead
of Youngyangtang. Bosintang is made by boiling dog meat with thin soy paste,
tearing it into pieces, putting ingredients such as green onion, leek, stalk of taro,
brake into broth, and boiling it again to make Bosintang. In Kyungsang
province, to get rid of the smell, perilla purple are put in the soup. Perilla are
also used for ridding the smell. Taste of perilla is similar to that of dog, and
it becomes a good match to dog meat. Side dishes of dog meat are Kimchi,
fresh peppers, and cucumbers. Adding a glass of Soju(liquor) enhances the
taste.

The standard amount of ingredients for one portion.


(1) Ingredients

100g of boiled dog meat, 500g of gravy, 20g of green onion, 10g of a leek,
10g of perilla leaves, 100g of taro stalk soaked in water.

(2) Sauce

8g of salt, 2g of mashed garlic, 3g of perilla, 2g of red pepper, 2g of mashed
ginger, a little amount of pepper.

(3) Cooking instruction

After boiling the meat with gravy and stalk of taro for some time, boil again
after putting vegetables an d other ingredients into it. Before eating, sprinkle
pepper on it and put into an earthen bowl. The stalk of taro is to be kept in cold
water one or two days to get rid of its smell and taste.

blech. really. It boggles Westerners minds that a domesticated household pet can so easily become food. We're really insulated from the way other cultures live.


i just read on MSN that the loving, loyal, lifesaving Saint Bernard is being raised as stockmeat and sold overseas by the hundreds. Because they are so docile and trusting, they are easy to control. Some butchers think that terrorizing them just prior to slaughter makes the meat more tender and flavorful because of the endorphines released.

...i am NOT going to eat dog...

I ate dog in Vietnam, I didn't know what it was until after the meal. It wasn't all that bad (taste wise)...

well, meat is meat, and if that's the local custom...

how did you feel emotionally?

i'll never forget when i was watching Hill Street Blues and Belker, the crazy cop who was always going undercover as a bum, gave a friend (they were standing in an alleyway, i believe) some food. When the friend said it was delicious, what was it, Belker held up a cat collar with a little bell on it and said "Meow..."

...i almost puked... :lol :lol :lol

do you think you would have felt any different if you had seen him alive first? or would it have been more like seeing lobsters in a tank at Red Lobster?

...i wouldn't either...

i mean, i love meat, and i've tried a few unusual things like sushi, conch, alligator, squid, deer, rabbit and squirrel, but i draw the line at pets you'd find in my home...

i often wonder how far i'd really go if i were part of the Donner party, or something like that. i'm not especially brave about eating REALLY unusual things, but i'm not especially brave about dying either.
