Dear old Mack (my cat when I was a kid), please forgive me. It was like a super-intense chicken soup.<br /><br />I also had dog braised with turnips (also in the Ling Nan region of China). I didn't quite have the same emotions as when I ate the dragon-phoenix-tiger soup, for while I've raised and loved cats as companions, I've liked dogs chiefly when they were someone else's responsibility. The dog meat was a little bit like something between pork and mutton, and the dish was actually quite pleasant.<br /><br />I think I'll go over to my own blog and tell the whole storyKephahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00999385775493831638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-12678033427958823532012-12-13T16:45:09.606-05:002012-12-13T16:45:09.606-05:00I second that.
