Dog Meat: What Does It Taste Like?

I wanted to know what dog meat tastes like. I didn't need this egotistical, me-me-me crap. How about changing the title to something more relevant. 

dog meat will keep our body warm i did not taste dog meat yet and i don't like to taste it but some people like dog meat its just like a pig meat

Thanks, that was very interesting, have you ever had horse?

Anthony....consider yourself as DOGMEAT when I arrive in Astoria next time !! 

I had dog on several occasions in West Africa.  It was usually served in either a light spicy broth or grilled.  It is oily compared to beef and has a distinct flavor.  I like the meat, but the skin and layer of fat under it, are a little strong for me.Thanks for sharing this.  I look forward to reading your book.

An Open Letter To the Village Voice/Fork in The RoadDear VillageVoice.com,I find it appalling that you would allow your editors at Fork in the Road to run Lauren Shockey's recent piece "Dog Meat: What Does It Taste Like?" in which she flagrantly pushes her newly-published book, not just with an excerpt, but with a full-on, in-your-face shill: " I wrote a book called 'Four Kitchens: My Life Behind the Burner in New York, Hanoi, Tel Aviv, and Paris,' which recounts the year I spent learning to cook in restaurants around the world. It came out last Wednesday. Yay! Buy a copy!"

It's understandable that the levels of integrity are all too often hazy when it comes to the journalistic responsibilities of a newspaper-owned blog versus those of the actual newspaper. And yet I expected more from the same outlet that openly shamed Josh Ozersky just over a year ago for plugging his celebrity chef-catered wedding in his Time magazine column without disclosing the payment for such services (http://blogs.villagevoice.com/.... It's not the same offense, but the same offensive disregard for journalistic virtue. I expected more from any outlet associated with the Village Voice, a publication once known for its probing and honest coverage of city news.

I'd also like to remind you that Lauren Shockey is supposed to be one of your dining critics. So why are you allowing her to present herself in a manner that's not even close to anonymous? Certainly, publicity for her book — and by association, publicity for the Village Voice — is inevitable as other publications review and write about it, yet the fact that the Voice itself is directly playing a part in generating even more press for such a thing (through Shockey herself, no less), is shameful.

The only reason I can think of why no other news-focused institution else has chided you for this kind of blatant self-shill is that perhaps you've become too inconsequential for anyone to care. It saddens me to think that's the state of the Village Voice these days, but you're not exactly doing anything to change that notion by publishing such idiotic nonsense.

Here in Mexico, if you buy your tacos from the wrong place sometimes you get dogmeat.  It definitely, definitely does not taste like beef, or pork for that matter.  Beware the 1 peso taco.

The writer goes - I'll try this shocking exoticism for the sake of all you curious readers out there, but I'm being oh so brave by not throwing up because I'm really one of you, not like these barbarians who dare to do what's offensive to all of us. Well dearie, if it was a major fail for you, why waste our time telling us what we could have predicted a mile away. And this is your pitch for spending 15 bucks on your book? If I have to read up on someone else's racist pretensions, I'm the one who gets paid, thank you.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
