Chinese Astronauts ate Dog meat

With luck, this thread will not require the intervention of paramedics either.

 

You can find canabalism pic's on rotten dot com, if you like to take 'animal' consumption to the next level.

As Robin Williams once joked, "Donner ... party of 20?" The moral of the story ... it's good to be at the top of the food chain, (but don't swim with the sharks) and it's a very diverse world we live in.

 

I was just about to post some pictures. Never mind...

 

Ever watch that crazy chef who goes around the world trying all kinds of weird foods?
Some of the foods in SE Asia are not anything you would eat here. Insects, brains, etc.In Mongolia, they kill a goat, take out the entrails, restuff it with hot rocks and entrails, cook it over a fire and serve it after burning off the hair. Looks like one big Haggis (if you know what Haggis is). The head is a delicacy, especially the eyes.


Last night, as I was eating dinner, I turned on the TV and this guy had just taken a cooked rat by the tail out of the fire, and had pulled out the steaming entrails to eat.
My stomach turned over, and I had to turn it off. Why they show such stuff around dinnertime is beyond me. Outrageous. But that's what gets ratings, by their nutty Nielson standards.

 

Thank you for confirming me in my opinion that I made the right choice in not having a TV.

 

I was at a dinner at a family friends house several years ago... they are from Punjab, and are practicing Sikhs... Amarjit made a feast for us, and one of the dishes was lambs eyes in yogurt (evidently, it is a bit of a pricy dish as well)... I didn't have any... the chicken, rice, and roti were wonderful...

 

I'm surprised. I figured you for an adventurous try-anything kind of guy.

 

Eyeballs were never food when I was growing up... and to tell you the truth Bra, I was a bit unnerved with that pan of white sauce all looking at me eat...

 

/Runs off going "Ki Yi Yi!"/

 

I like eating Beaver. Get it nice and hot where as the meat is still nice and pink. mmmmm boy it is mouth watering, finger licking good.

 

I like eating my words ... apparently. (sigh) That's why I too - say stupid / idiotic things that people remember for ever. Yep, you can't un-ring the bell. Oh, and I eat a lot of crow too. Goes good with desert:
humble pie.

 

Ok, so in one breath you suggest that roaming animals (i.e.: HERD animals, like cows) are likely to pick up exotic diseases by running wild.

And in the next breath, you downplay the overcrowded, cesspool conditions most cows in the US are kept in, where they are treated with mega-doses of antibiotics and are likely to develop resistant forms of known diseases...

All of which is to say you must be OK wilth getting a disease which is known but can't be treated, vs one which is unknown and could be treatable... And this makes you better than Chinese astronauts somehow - when's the last time YOU were in outer space, Mr. Bigshot? :lol:

 

Dog meat

One of the reasons I love this place... there will always be such interesting counter questions...

 

IMO
Space programs were and are basically research and development for ICBMs, and star wars missile defense.
Thus we have recent Iranian and Chinese space programs.

 

Things take a nasty turn:

Dog meat (Definition)
n. a dead person. (Typically in a threat.)  
Make one move, and you're dog meat.

Origin?

 

Obviously the Chinese...

Thanks! Just trying to elevate the dialog...
