More of a culture shift. And I think it was traditionally eaten in tight economic times, not because there was any significant meaning or quality in dog meat.

not because there was any significant meaning or quality in dog meat

it actually tastes pretty damn good, somewhere between lamb and pork, imho.

Can confirm, tastes good. This was in Papua New Guinea, the dog was donated to a function to be eaten because it kept killing people's chickens.

What's funny is some tribes will eat dog and not cat, others eat cat and not dog, and they both think the other is weird for their choice.

Fair enough! Lol

I don't think I'd give up beef or pork to substitute dog in there.

I did like the point someone else brought up -- raising dogs for meat isn't economical in terms of the life cost.

Chickens, cows, and pigs can feed a lot more people per animal life than a dog can. (Female chickens produce eggs)

Even lamb -- they can produce wool and milk (... right? Lol).
