Different Dishes Of Chinese Food On Restaurant Menu Including Ducks Tongues

Ducks tongues as a separate dish of Chinese food served at a restaurant !? There is always a first time for everything and so it was when eating the ducks tongues, that looked very unfamiliar when the waiter brought the dish to the table at the Chinese food restaurant chosen for an evening meal. Two other items on the restaurant's Chinese Food menu were 'Roasted Mule' and 'Lotus Root Stuffed With Sticky Rice'. 'Dog Meat' was not included on the menu of this Chinese Food Restaurant, but a few blocks away, down one of the side streets, a small family owned restaurant had such a dish on their menu. Strangely enough, the meat itself just tasted like pork, when it was included in one meal at a different restaurant, but the thought of eating the flesh of a family pet animal, was somewhat off-putting.

Visiting the family home of a friend one year, two young puppy dogs were very playful and affectionate to all who came in contact with them. When making a return visit the following year, there was only one dog to be seen. When asked about the missing dog, my friend replied that they had eaten it. When the response was made, 'You cant eat a pet dog!', back came the reply, 'You eat pork dont you!'. Yes we do, and young lambs, and young cows, and chickens and ducks and rabbits, listed on many Chinese food restaurant menus, but many westerners have an aversion to eating dog meat in whatever way it is cooked.
