rst0wxyz - 06 Jul 2007 00:21 GMT > Read all about it, here:http://Muvy.org 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.

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!"

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.

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,...
