Well, I thought I was going to have a great story to post today. I went to a birthday party where on the table was a barbecued animal that looked suspiciously like a dog. Knowing the rumors of dog eating in this country, I wasn't too surprised but actually a little excited to be "living on the edge" and eating something I would never dream of trying in a normal life. The host of the party went on to explain that they actually raise dogs on farms for this purpose. So, with courage, I cut off a sliver and stuck it in my mouth. It actually tasted quite good! But I wasn't going back for seconds.
However, I soon found out it was just a joke and my dreams of telling my great grandkids about eating Filipino mutt died away. It was a goat. Haha! Its amazing how this little bit of information changed my willingness to go back for seconds :)
So, there you have it. My story about not eating dog in the Philippines.

We were expecting to be presented with dog meat when we were in China and never found it. I think we were naive to think anyone would serve it to tourists, but we wanted a great story about that too. Remember the "blood" we ate at the Filipino Rest. in Tulsa? Had any more of that? I think I was the only one of us who didn't like it though.
