dog meat! But wait, this is not just a novelty food; something to tell your friends that you’ve done, but would never do again. No, dog meat is really, truly, genuinely delicious. I’ve been eating dog meat for a few years, but this particular meal was by far the tastiest: dog wrapped in aromatic betel leaf, steamed dog with herbs & dipping sauce, dog soup with young bamboo, dog sausage. But the star of the show was a sort of ‘dog kebab’ which – instead of a skewer – is eaten off one of the dog’s ribs: all 10 diners couldn’t get enough of this dish. To accompany the meal there’s a choice of more than a dozen types of Vietnamese liquor. A great night; a great meal.
