SEOUL, South Korea - Dog meat is increasingly popular among women in
North Korea because the traditional Korean delicacy is believed to
be good for the skin, a pro-Pyongyang newspaper in Japan reported
Wednesday
Dog meat has long been regarded as a stamina food in both Koreas,
widely consumed on hot summer days in particular.
North Korea is believed to have a greater variety of dishes with dog
meat, known in the North as "sweet meat." South Korean gourmets who
have tried the delicacy in the North, say Northern dishes taste better.
The paper quoted a cook at a dog meat restaurant in the North's
capital, Pyongyang, as saying an increasing number of women are
visiting the restaurant.
"Customers get convinced about the efficacy of sweet meat when they see
the skin of our employees and cooks," the paper quoted the chef, Ryu
Jong Mok, 47, as saying.
The paper said Ryu also has "resilient and fine" skin.
Dog meat is also widely consumed in South Korea, especially
among middle-aged men on belief that it's good for stamina and
virility. But women in the South are usually less willing to try the
food.
Earlier this week, a poll showed that more than 35 percent of South
Korean dog owners also eat dog soup.
Dog meat is also eaten in some other Asian countries, including China,
Vietnam, the Philippines and Laos.
Heck, what other meat can you find that will cook itself. lol _________________ The Middle Eastern states aren't nations; they're quarrels with borders.- P. J. O'Rourke
Well, a cannibal may well make the same argument ...
A Nana Plaza BG may well make that argument too. OOPS WRONG FORUM
If the Nana Plaza made that argument, I'd agree, and provide the protein happily - all while drinking a beer and with pizza nearby, Simon. _________________ Dongguan Expat - Your online Community!

No, because they are happy to put human body parts in their mouths.
So long as they don't chew and stick to tasting, I don't mind the similarity - rather, I encourage it . _________________ Dongguan Expat - Your online Community!
