newjez Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 well worth a look - my Idian , chinses and chippy are a 5, but my kebab shop is a one. The local scout hall is also a one, and we know they have rats. http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2013/jul/26/food-outlets-hygiene-ratings-datablog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sustain Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 When we went to Cambodia last year they were eating tarantulas ( deep fried) and there were trays of skinned rats- apparently very tasty but I couldn't eat it. The worst was the dogs heads- all brown dogs for some reason, maybe they taste better?? Versus 2 hour boiled cabbage, potatoes and carrots in same cookpot hmmm rats sounding nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incata Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Wasn't there a case in London a couple of years ago that large nubers of pigeons were disappearing from Trafalgar Square. Eventually they caught someone catching them to sell in his restaurant. Perhaps the unidentified food was pigeon (or guinea pig - popular in Peru!)

Wooky Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 It's all brown dogs in China and Vietnam too, reason is that they're actually bred for eating, people don't, as a rule, grab Rover off the street for a stew. Have to say I didn't partake of the tarantula in Cambodia, looked revolting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyHeart Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I suppose at the end of the day an animal is an animal and as an animal eater it would be hypocritical of me to condemn a nation for eating an animal that is viewed in a different way to how we view it ( culturally) If dogs are food....well...let them eat dog..the thing I would take offence to is the breeding, farming and slaughtering conditions...dogs are intelligent precious pets to me, same with horses and cats.....I have no problem with eating cows, sheep and pigs though...I once worked with a chinese nurse who told me dog was very tasty...I couldn't look at her without thinking...'evil dog eater! ' after that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incata Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Horses regularly end up in dog food in the UK. It's where the tired and knackered Dartmoor ponies go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

' after that.... I agree up to a certain extent. However at the end of the day animals still have feelings, feel pain, distress etc. Yes people will always eat meat but it's the terrible conditions and methods of slaughter that I think are so wrong. Unnecessary and horrid... I just can't get my head around the fact some people (knowing the facts) are still ok eating it? What's all that about? Think there's something very wrong about that?
