The Dog Meat Conundrum

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Totally agree. I'd even go for 'long pig' in a lifeboat or Donner Party starvation situation without hesitation.
I was in the province once and woke up to a peculiar smell, nothing I was used to. I got up and walked out and it was my gf's niece cooking some meat. She told me it was dog and my nose curled. I didn't like the smell. She offered me a piece but just putting it to my tongue the taste was enough to throw it away.

Then another Singaporean guy told me I had to go to China to get really good dog meat, he said that what he had in Cambodia was shit.

I don't care but my caveat is that the dogs they typically ill or otherwise suspect in the quality. Plus the taste was so... unique, I didn't care for it.

I admit the smell churns my stomach.

I would really, really love to have a Vietnamese friend that knows how to cook dog.



I would invite him around to my house at 3 am in the morning for a beer,,,,, when all the dogs in our street are barking.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

I believe dog costs more than beef. I've taken a bite on two seperate occasions and I definitely don't like it, just tastes weird to me.

I think you're supposed to cook it first.

I think dog meat is cheaper than beef.

It is, at least the normal stuff. Usually from sick or old dogs. It's probably high for the black angus equivalent, which what would that be?
