I have been watching my food intake very close . One of my newly discovered favorite lo-cal foods is Kimchi . About 15 calories a serving . I have eaten it many times in the past but never realized what a great diet aid this is . If I start getting hungry I just shovel in a little extra and immediately feel full .
Disclosure Warning : You need to stay in outdoors areas after eating this stuff or be in an area with very good ventilation !!!
Please stay away from any open flames !
Well didn't know what it was, so I googled it, and it went to Wikipedia for an answer. This was the first listing that Popped up. The Kimchi was a bit farther down and a different dish and by the time I got to it my interest had dropped off quite a bit.... You lost me on that one!
Korean cuisine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Consumption of dog meat
A dish made with
dog meat in South Korea
The consumption of
dog meat is a traditional part of Korean cuisine and
medicine. Dog is most commonly consumed in a dish called
bosintang (spicy dog stew) and in the medicinal extract
gaeju (개주), also called
gaesoju (개소주).
[2] Dog meat is believed to replenish energy lost to summer heat, and to enhance male sexual stamina.
[3][4][5][6] Roughly 2 million dogs are eaten each year in South Korea, or an average of 1.4 kg per person.
[7][8]
Sometimes the dogs killed for consumption are first tortured, in order to increase the "fight" or
adrenaline in the meat. A dog that dies painfully is believed to have softer meat, and impart the energy of its death to the consumer. Methods of inflicting painful death include slow hanging and beating.
[9][10][11][12][5][8] All breeds are eaten, including purebreds and pets.
[13] but
nureongee (누렁이)
[2] are commercially raised for consumption.
Consumption of dog meat became controversial in South Korea as a result of the
1988 Summer Olympics and
2002 FIFA World Cup in Seoul. The government banned the sale of dog meat prior to the Olympics, under international pressure. However, the law is not strictly enforced.
[14][6][3] Some online petitions opposed to dog consumption in Korea have gathered thousands of signatures.
