The Buttocks of a Dog Return!

Or in this case the buns of a dog.

Now I love few things better than a steamed pork bun, so when I saw a shelf of them at a local bakery, I went over to check them out. Banh Cha. Pork buns. Yum. And the next shelf down: Banh Thit Cho--dog meat buns. They looked ever so delicious, but I managed to resist.

But here's the thing--to the Vietnamese eating dog is good luck, and it's a specialty that is sought out especially when old friends meet.

I'm just saying, it's what's for dinner when you come visit us. It's the culturally respectful thing to do.
