There was a very fancy French restaurant in San Francisco which has on
its menu veal dish for a long time, and customers ordered it and ate
it for a long time until an employee re(veal)ed that the veal was
actually pork.  The restaurant had to admit it was true and offered to
refund part of the cost to past customers.

An expensive restaurant substituting cheap stuff for the real thing...
and people falling for it.

There is a WORLD of difference in the texture of pork versus veal!

If they are too ignorant to tell the difference, they almost deserve to
be duped.

Isn't there an old saying that goes something like this:

    One man's trash is another man's treasure.

It just so happened that dog and cat meat are considered a delicacy in
China. Oh!!! yes, I know, I know.  We don't eat dog or cat meat.
Well, as one poster had already pointed out, dogs and cats are just
another animal like cow, pigs, chicken, lamb,...

Well along those same lines what about people that keep rats for pets
and love them dearly?!?!  But yet most us will put traps out to catch
and kill them sometimes in the most inhumane ways such as sticky paper
that keeps them stuck until they starve to death, or traps that will
break their necks, or I have even seen where people will set up a
contraption where they will fall in the water in a container and
drown!!!

Do not get me wrong!!  I am not really for killing ANY living thing
but everyone has their own feeling / outlook about things.

I went to South Korea for work and in my translation book "Dog" was listed
in the cuisine section, right next to Beef, Chicken, etc.  I didn't catch it
on any menus and was told it isn't served much, if at all, in Seoul but it
is still erie.  One of my co-workers has told me when he was in Korea he had
a street vendor trying to sell him a leg that was 2-3 feet long saying "it's
chicken!"

Yeah and if you believe that just try serving a cow in India.

Muslim restaurants serve beef in India.

Christian ones serve pork as well as beef...

Although the only place you'll get real beef rather than water buffalo will
probably be in Bombay.

What you can't get in India is 'sheep meat'.  What they call mutton is
invariably goat.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time,  like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

As a child growing in rural Chinese village, water buffaloes worked
until they were too old to work, then slaughtered for meat.  The meat
were as tough as leather, very difficult to eat even for a child.  In
rural Chinese village, meat were ususally port, dog, chicken, fish,...

I don't remember seeing any goat, or had goat meat in China.
