I was yakking with Khun Suphot (Smile's better half) one day and asked him if he ever ate dog meat. He said only once and that it wasn't intentional (his friends were having a barbeque, he specifically asked them if it was dog as he didn't want to eat any of that, they told him it wasn't, he tried a little, and then he barfed it up when his friends laughed and told him it was dogmeat).

Anyway, I understood from Pot that very few people in his home area (Surin Province) ever ate dog. I asked him if people that actually ate dog would even eat their own friggin' pets. He said "heck no" or words to that effect. "Well, then, what dogs do they eat?" I inquired. Pot answered: "Well, if they don't like their neighbor and the neighbor is away in town, they might eat the neighbor's dog!" Still funny as hell to me.
