More Russian foodblogging…
Following my last post on the popularity of Kangaroo sausages in the Far East, I’ve just discovered this Marmot’s Hole post on the increasing popularity of dog meat in Moscow restaurants, both Korean and Russian:
The Segye Ilbo (Korean), citing a piece in Russia’s Moskovsky Komsomolets (MK), reports that there are a growing number of restaurants in Moscow serving dog meat this summer. According the the Segye Ilbo, the MK said that in the past, restaurant owners would serve the delicacy only to close friends, but now, restaurants were putting the sweetest of meats on their menus. And not just Korean restaurants, mind you — about 10 ordinary Russian joints were serving it as well in Moscow alone.
The MK wondered, however, where all the dogs were coming from, as there’s no dog-rearing places in Moscow, and it pointed out that the stray dogs that used to run around outside the restaurants are now nowhere to be found.
It truly is a dangerous time to be a cute furry animal (or, indeed, a mangy furry animal) in Russia.
