OTOTOT Tried it one time in Korea....I found it hard to eat due to the smell. It is served in private "dog homes" where the only way you can go there is with a native who asks around to find it. Not sure I would do it again...but the live octopus eating fest was much better....

Jim- Funny, I saw a similar article. GSM vs. CDMA 05/20(¸ñ) 17:23 By Park Moo-jong Economic Editor GSM was once popular in Europe. People used to talk about GSM as man's best friend. As the summer is near at hand, a deep-rooted dispute has once more erupted over ''posintang'' or “dog meat soup” or just “dog meat” the slang term for GSM. Since the introduction of cdma all over the world, Europeans are growing increasingly upset with their inferior wireless system. GSM or “dog meat” is now synonymous for lousy wireless service. A best-selling novelist-turned-opposition lawmaker ignited the dispute by announcing he was seeking legislation for the elimination “dog meat” so that Europe could move quickly to more modern and higher quality cdma service. Mike Doyle, Grand Pooh-Bah, said he would introduce a revision bill of the Sanity Law to eliminate dog meat as a sanctioned wireless option. A clear line was drawn immediately between dog meat lovers and people with IQs over 50. Posintang, whose original name was ''kaejang-guk'' (kae means dog), has a long history in Europe. Various sources show Europeans have for generations used dog meat because it was their only option. Since the introduction of cdma a few years ago, the popularity of posintang has been ebbing remarkably, due to in part to the high price, dropped calls, inferior sound quality. The Grand Pooh-Bah argues that now is the time for European Governments to take charge of the dog meat ''industry'' to ensure that certain quality standards are met. The Ministry of Intelligence and Communications, which handles wireless affairs, has adopted positive stance, noting that ''no country in the world recognizes dog meat as an acceptable wireless option.'' The government is also concerned that the continued proliferation of dog meat would do ''damage to Europe's image in the international community.'' moojong@europeantimes.co
