  1. A "performance artist" in Britain has eaten a Corgi as a protest against
    the royal family's treatment of animals.
    I always thought that the radical animal rights people were playing a few
    cards short of a deck but this guy takes the cake.

    Wouldn'a been so bad if he'd provided a recipe.

    "Mark McGowan dines on what he said was a corgi. He hopes to draw attention
    to reports that Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth's husband, had beaten a fox
    to death."

    So, why didn't he eat a Beagle?

    "McGowan, a British artist, talks to reporters at his protest. He said the
    corgi meat he ate was mixed with apple, onion and seasoning and served with
    a salad."

    Well, there ya go. Maybe Food TV will do a Semi-Homemade segment on Corgi
    braised in canned mushroom soup.

    The current key word is "allegedly" ... people are questioning if he
    really did. Anyway, he allegedly picked the Corgie because it died at
    a breeder's. It wasn't killed just for him to eat it.

    Why is that weirder than riding around shooting foxes for "sport"? Or
    crowds of people in a ring watching guys kill bulls for fun?
    Force-feeding geese to get a fatty liver? Making pigs and calves live
    in little crates so they can't move?

    That's the sicko stuff.

    Eating a dog that died of natural causes isn't what I'd be doing, even
    as a protest, but it doesn't rank on my list of crazy things. 🙂

    You would think he would have had the ba**s to kill and dress out his
    own corgi if he were a serious performance artist. Sheesh!

    Many Asian cultures including the Phillipines, Vietnam, etc still eat
    dog. Plus Native Americans used to eat them. Lots of cultures eat dogs.
    It's just a food to them. The Chihuahua was originally bred for food,
    not as much as a pet. It's just strange in our culture (Western) but it
    still happens in the USA on occasion.

    When a dog is properly cooked, it should look like this:

    So, will it be Saint Bernard or Chihuahua? I heard Chihuahua meat is more
    tender! ;-)

    Why not a foxhound, if he really wants to hit fox hunting where it lives.

    I would think it would be terrific with that dry onion soup mix worked
    in then formed into a little loaf, smeared with ketchup, and baked at
    350 degrees for (insert appropriate time according to size) and served
    with those handy frozen already-mashed potatoes with a dab of sour cream
    on top to make it gourmet, with some of those stupid little milled-down
    carrots on the side. Don't forget Cocktail Time: Foxtail Time this week
    in honor of the hunt! What, a Vixentini?

    <don't forget the dessert topping... just like homemade but with none of
    the home or the made! >

    It is a delicacy in Korea. Who are we to say it is wrong when we eat
    animals. I don't believe there is a logical argument to say which
    animals are off limits. We eat cows, some cultures not. Some eat dogs or
    horses, whereas we do not. Why is one more acceptable and one not? <shrug>

    I didn't say it was unacceptable in those cultures. I said the thought
    of it makes me sick. What I meant by "just the thought of it" meant
    actually eating a dog myself. It'll never happen in this lifetime.

    FWIW, my sport of choice is equestrian jumping. I would love, absolutely
    love to go on a fox hunt. Charging along cross country and jumping fences
    while following the hounds would be a blast. Foxes are varmints around
    here and shot on sight, not only because they kill livestock but because
    they are notorious for carrying rabies.

    It was said to be a Corgi, the breed that the queen is famous for.
