Writer's Block: You Ate What?

It was good. Don'

I think people getting up in arms about dog being eaten is very silly. How is a dog any different from a pig or a cow? If you eat meat, you don't have any right to judge someone who eats a different kind of meat.

In the Philippines (also where I tried the balut). Actually, the Aztecs (sorta my people?) used to eat dog so maybe it is in my blood? LOL...

I can't say it was any better or worse than some of the stranger meat I've eaten, mainly 'cause it was doused in sauce.
