Just watching the programme could you eat an elephant? and they are in Vietnam where dog is considered part of a normal staple diet but I just dont think I could do it!!! The vietnamese see them just the way we see pigs but when I see dogs I see mans best friend...

Could I? Yes. Would I? No. Should I? Not unless there is nothing else to eat.

Although the fewer dogs on this planet the better IMO. Cats FTW.

i have done.  unknowingly the first time.

however i couldnt eat my own dog.

there really is no difference eating dog cat horse sheep cow or pig. its just western prejudice.

Your probably right about western prejudice...its just a mentality thing- maybe coz I have a dog too

I've tried other mental stuff like Alligator, Kangaroo, Ostrich, Shark, etc so not easily put off but just the thought of munching down on Rover makes me feel a queasy- think it would be even worse if it was like that programme and they are all running around in the street while your eating their brothers

I could eat a dog, and would have no real problem doing so as a meat eater, but prefer not to because I feel they have more personality than most animals. I certainly wouldn't eat a dog if it was abused to the extent it was in the clip.

No.  I wasted a few minutes recently reading Dale's blog after stumbling across it, in it he mentions eating whale meat. I couldn't eat dog or whale.  I will stick with vegetables and pasta. 

meat is meat.  I don't think I'd choose to eat it, but it wouldn't bother me.  Perhaps a stew or something would be best.

I ate a stew once that was very tasty and didnt know till after it was cat meat.

Rabbit too is very nice but it kind of sticks in your throat when you have seen the poor bunny hopping around, then shot and hung by its feet to bleed.

As the programme said we are brought up thinking its ok to eat beef/pork/chicken/lamb but why are these animals different from any others ?

The tiny wee birds and sucking out their brains was a bit yukk tho

I wouldn't eat a dog, a camel, a horse, an elephant or a donkey.

Anything else, deep fried on a stick, including monkeys. mmmmmm

I personally don't see the issue, as a meat eater if it tastes good i am all for it.

Eat dog?......If you've ever had a Donar Kebab anywhere in the world then you have already done so.

Human meat?

Some chinese bloke ate a foetus

People often eat placentas after a child is born, meant to be very good for you apparently.  I guess it was more common thousands of years ago when people had to hunt and forage for food.  It would be a way for the mother to consume a lot of the nutrients she's just 'lost' in giving birth.

Juts found this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/101944.stm

A lot of people who eat meat would eat dog, horse, whale, monkey, ape, so why draw the line at human meat? 

I don't think I could eat placenta, but then I don't like squidgy/slippery things really

Not even with some fava beans and a nice chianti?

Don't think so, I don't like oysters either

tthhhh tthhhh tthhhhh tthhh

(that's the best I can do)

If you're not squeamish, there are some nice recipes here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Placenta

lol @ wobbly side up.

This is just weird, and certainly not for the squeamish:

NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH LINK (http://havingapoo.blogspot.com/2007/07/placenta-party.html)

I, for one, will miss my lunch now.

Managed to get halfway down the page, can't scroll any further (off to be sick....)

You at the maternity ward?

Because you get a version of CJD if you do.

That's only human brain isn't it?  What's up with a bit of leg?  Or are you more of a breast man?

Cannabalism is a different issue imo, eating your own species is a step too far for me. Though there are circumstance like that South American plane crash in the 70's where needs must.

I suppose i don't see the massive issue with dogs or any other animal, as i am not animal lover and feel no emotional attachment to any animal.

Other species eat their young if times are hard and there's not enough food to go round.  So it (somewhat perversely) helps to sustain their line.  In similar circumstances I'm sure humans would have done the same.  Of course as 'civilised' humans it's not something that would be good for society and so it's obviously a taboo.

I'm not saying I'd be keen to do it, but I'm sure that if my plane crashed in the Andes and there was no other food other than some dead person in the ice, I'd see no problem eating them.  Probably tastes like chicken.

Hmm intersesting post Graham.

They're just a bit yucky though aren't they?  I not narrow it down to specific internal organs, I don't like things like that in general - I like my eggs cooked properly, none of this runny white bit.  I couldn't be on I'm a Celeb GMOOH

I guess I'd eat most things that were proper meat if I had too, obviously there are things I'd be first in the queue for and others I'd be at the back but in the queue nevertheless.

Could anyone have eaten the still beating snake heart?

Not a chance, that's one of my slippery and squidgy things.

I watched an episode of a programme called Road Kill once. I couldn't believe it. These dudes drove around country lanes looking for animals that had been squished by tractors or whatever, so they could cook up a dinner with the remains. WTF? Now you can imagine there was no spring chicken or prime lobster on those roads, it was all weasels and hedgehogs and such like. They eventually found a rotten badger carcass and turned it into a stir fry. They thought it was cool because "it didn't cost a penny". Man, I don't know how much those Basics chicken breasts are in Sainsbury's but they gotta be cheaper than the petrol used roaming the streets for badger meat. That programme was disgusting.
