//Hi!

I am a student in Korea.

There is very special soup for keeping good health in my country.

Some people hate this soup because it is made of "dog"

but it is traditional food which has been eaten for a long time by

our ancestor. What do you think about it?//

Hi!! I live in Japan.
I have two dogs. And I can't imagine how is "Dog soup" In Korea, don't you have dogs as a pet? Dogs eat only "Dog Food and water" How does it taste?? I want to know.

I think every country has its own kind of strange cuisine that the locals love but foreign visitors think is strange or disgusting. In Japan I tried fried whale meat, basashi (horse sashimi), and fugu nabe (poisonous puffer fish stew) to name but a few. In China I tried camel hump meat. A bit unusual from what I was used to, but still tasty. I haven't tried dog stew yet. Maybe someday?

What strange cuisines have you tried when visiting other countries? For example, in some regions of the U.S., you can try alligator meat, rattlesnake meat, or Rocky Mountain oysters (don't ask ).

alligator meat
Very delicious!!!

Bob S.
Did you try it?

Nice to meet you! I am a Japanese. I have never eaten whale meat.

What is alligator? I cannot imagine.

When I visited to Australia, I ate deer meat. It was like hard beef.

Thank you, Bob.
Alligator is horrible I think. But I want to try it.
Bob, you are very good at Japanese, aren't you?
Have you lived in Japan?

Hi !　I am Japanese student. I am surprising at this information！！！　And I was shock! Because I have two dogs. It is very pity!!! But it is Korean culture. So you cannot help eating dogs. I want to hear that does your country have habit that have a dog as a pet?
