First, kill a medium sized dog :)

China, apparently, has banned all 'fragrant' (read DOG) meat in its Olympic restaurants. Strange are ways of Mao-land but that definitely piqued this armchair chef's curiosity. How would you cook a dog - wedding style, no less? Hmm - according to this article, you start by killing a medium sized dog. That did it for me. I can just about handle the thought of clammy testicles staring sadly behind the poor doggie's penis (yum!) - but kill a medium sized dog ? No way. Fuck off.



So much for cultural dogmas.

Don't let me keep you - so here is the recipe ...

1. First, kill a medium sized dog, then burn off the fur over a hot fire. 
2. Carefully remove the skin while still warm and set aside for later (may be used in other recpies) 
3. Cut meat into 1″ cubes. Marinade meat in mixture of vinegar, peppercorn, salt and garlic for 2 hours. 
4. Fry meat in oil using a large wok over an open fire, then add onions and chopped pineapple and suate until tender. 
5. Pour in tomato sauce and boiling water, add green peper, bay leaf and tabasco. 
6. Cover and simmer over warm coals until meat is tender. Blend in liver spread and cook for additional 5-7 minutes.
