Interesting posts, ladies. I've only been to Italy and a brief stay in the Country of Holland; they were eating muscles there, and that didn't look all that appetizing to me, either. Down in the Bahamas they were eating conk and that was a turnoff. Don't want anybody to starve to death. Just saying I couldn't eat dog because of my upbringing: Dad wouldn't eat his own cows and never sent anything to the market. All his animals died natural deaths. Still don't think it's cool to tie a dog on top of a car for 12 hours, I don't care who it is and I actually like the man.
