Do Koreans Eat Dog?

Everyone was asking me that before we came to Korea, especially when we were talking about our dog, Roxxy. I really didn't know and you feel badly about asking because maybe it is just a racist rumor/myth that has been spread around, but, yet, you want to ask because you don't want to eat Fido without knowing.

In the in-processing brief, they told us that yes, Koreans do eat dog. It is considered a delicacy and they use a special breed of dogs that are raised for the purpose of being eaten. They do not serve dog to foreigners. I suppose if you really wanted to try it and could communicate that you knew what it was, you could try it, but I am not interested.

I will try just about anything, but I won't eat dog or cat.
