daging arwey

That’s what I tried today.

When I came to Indonesia I decide to follow the dictum of Dan Allender, president of Mars Hill graduate School, and “Try anything moral once”.

So for lunch today I had a plate of rice (because here without rice you haven’t eaten) and a decent sized helping of daging anjing.

It was spicier than I expected.

And had small bits of bone in it.

And was full of grizzle.

Dan saya tidak suka. (And I did not like it)

Although I suppose if necessary I could eat it again.

But I am not looking forward to it.

So what is daging anjing.

Its a popular dish among the people of Menado in northern Sulawesi here in Indonesia.

And….

It’s meat from what used to be man’s best friend.
