Boshintang

Courtesy of Messrs. Wong, Kim, Idibia, and Farmer, the long awaited New Belgrade opening of "Psi" shall be feted this evening. On the menu: Boshintang, or Korean Dog Meat Stew, or Guyoukgeng Minnan, otherwise known as "fragrant meat" of Taiwanese dogs. We await your pleasure, tails wagging.

New Belgrade is soon to join the list, including China, Korea, Nigeria, Indonesia, Japan, Poland, Germany, France, Tahiti, Switzerland, Ghana, Siberia, Alaska, Greenland, and many more countries across the globe who either openly and notoriously or clandestinely consume dog meat.

It tastes like chicken, they say.

In Albania they say, it tastes like hedgehog.

The idea for this new restaurant was born only recently. In these interview excerpts from Mr. Wong and Mr. Farmer, we see a little of the driving force behind it.

WONG: My native Northern Jiangsu is well-known in China for its dog-meat stew flavoured with soft-shelled turtle. Here there are plentiful dogs, running wild around New Belgrade. No one takes care of them. We should eat them.

FARMER: Up all night barking...scratching my car....

WONG: Many people say dog meat has natural preventative and curative properties. We will post our recipes in homeopathic pharmacies as well.

FARMER: Terrorizing children... chasing people up the street...

When asked for more detail on his comments, Mr. Farmer was seen to compose himself a little more: "No one is in charge of these dogs. By my flat alone there are twenty. They seem bent on killing each other as well. B92 has set up a fund to protect them - the Mila fund thing - but no one has set up a fund to protect us from the unnatural wild life of New Belgrade.

"If anyone laid a hand to them, they would be jailed immediately. We cannot count on the City to rid the neighborhoods of these wild dogs. We do not seem to have any kind animal shelter in working order. There is but one choice: Eat them.

"The menu at Psi will be set according to Grievance (this is a novelty I believe among restaurants). General annoyance will be cheap. But to get a chance to eat the dogs who scratched the paint off my Alfa Romeo incurring EUR 400 worth of damages, this will be premium priced cuisine. I suggest the Vietnamese Cho Xao Sa Ot. It is fried dog in lemon grass and chili. Very spicy indeed."

As a closing note, Messrs. Wong, Kim, Idibia, and Farmer would like to state that they have no plans of carving up family pets or beloved animals. But the ones left to be abandoned in the streets of New Belgrade, downgrading neighborhoods to third-world status, they will be served in abundance.

Before the restaurant opens its doors, it proprietors are waiting for a better solution to be proposed for these wild dogs. Write in care of Mila, B92.

Thank you.

Bleurgh

but then again it raises a legitimate question why is it that we consider certain animals fit for slaughter to be eaten by us and some others not....

Re: Bleurgh

I know this borders on distasteful, but:

I am just so fed up with these wild dogs I do not know what else to do.... I thought about officially complaining or contacting some kind of RSPCA organization, but I know what the result will be.

One of my neightbors tried this for a year before finally moving away.

I love dogs really (outside of Cho Xao Sa Ot), but it is a danger.

How would you feel if you lived in South London where we have wild red foxes flooding urban areas and shitting everywhere? They are almost as common to see now as neigbourhood cats (albeit from dusk till dawn - they are rarely seen during daylight).

Having said that, the other day one of them was literally a few steps away on the pavement in broad daylight, showing absolutely no fear whatsoever. I wonder if perhaps it was ill....which makes you think further about rabies and similar horrors.

One of my neighbors tried this for a year before finally moving away.

Seven years ago I got attacked by a similar neighborhood pack on our way home from the playground, in a different part of town. I've been around big dangerous dogs all my life and there was nothing I could do except hold the pram up in the air, shout at them and run. Got a few nasty scratches but the fear, especially because of the baby, was paralyzing for days.

We moved out too first chance we got.

Still, it was not nearly as bad as Bucharest

Love how you chose to went your anger btw, Chris Farmer character is hillarious, hopefully he won't need to surface again in the future to come to your rescue.

ok, you've definitely learned our ways. The other night, a drunk neighbour and his drug addict son were playing loud music from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. At some point dad called mom a whore and chased her around the building shouting he would kill her. I phoned the police. My husband kept saying it was pointless but I did it anyway. When the police arrived, dad refused to open the door, so they argued through the closed door for about half an hour before the police came to the conclusion that it was pointless and left. Last night, when it happened again, I thought about calling the police, but I knew what the result would be.

but I knew what the result would be.

Such helplessness in the face of nuissance or right-out danger is probably the main reason why I love living where I live and have absolutely no illusions about ever returning home for good....ever.

Re: Bleurgh

helplesness

We sat for a while in bed last night discussing our options, and in the end we realized that if we weren't moving away soon, we would have to pay someone to beat the life out of big daddy.

Re: Bleurgh

How about wild off-their-tits 'coons running around every night knocking down every single garbage can and dragging sh*t all over the neighbourhood? I have never encountered one "up close and personal," but people tell me it's an experience you definitely don't need in your life. Not to mention rabies.

Ooooh, and the possums, skunks, rabies-laden squirrels... the list goes on.

I had to put up with forest creatures...in midtown Toronto. Thus, I share your view on the dog problem because it is a huge problem and a liability, and the City had better take care of them asap.

I live in Zrenjanin and we are one of only a handful of Serbian cities that have a dog pound ("asylum" they call it). Subotica and Novi Sad, I think, being the other two.

banat.hardkor 21:52 08.05.2010

Re: Bleurgh

That's interesting. I could never leave for good. Ever. People in Serbia don't understand this and think I'm crazy but I honestly could not leave, forever, and live someplace else. But, OK, the people who think I'm crazy have never set foot outside of the country for longer than a weekend.

I don't feel good anywhere else. I am extremely adaptable and flexible, and I have never lacked anything in life, even when I didn't have it. I could live a spartan/frugal lifestyle and I would not complain (I know because I have had spartan periods in my life).

Most importantly, I don't expect anything from Serbia/the gov't because that would be foolish and a grand waste of time to say the least.

The few big pros I experience in Serbia every day far outweigh all the cons, big or small. Stray dogs are not even on the list of cons. And neither would my alkie neighbour be, if I had one.

Bili Piton 22:10 08.05.2010

Re: Bleurgh

And neither would my alkie neighbour be, if I had one.

I don't have alkie neighbours either, but because it's a rather liberal and mixed neigbourhood here, loud all night parties (and I mean loud - the banging can be heard across the streets) are quite common, especially in the summer. More than once I had to call the noise patrol who'd readily come to hush them up because that's what they are paid to do, so that the rest of us (who also like to party, but not so wildly) could get some peace at say 5 AM. Here I'm not completely helpless or taken for an idiot for complaining in the first place, like Duchesse and her husband, it is my statutory right to demand someone to do something about something and to see it done. I have means at my disposal to combat something I don't like or disagree with. In Serbia I don't, much as I love it - from afar....

Don't ask what your country can do for you. It can't do anything.

banat.hardkor 00:16 09.05.2010

Re: Bleurgh

You're right. One is left to their own devices, which is sad. I wonder where all the tax money's going...

Joking aside, I could quiet my rowdy neighbour down if he got too loud, but that would give birth to a problem 10x worse.

duchesse 10:13 09.05.2010

Re: Bleurgh

a problem 10x worse

True. For example, you give him a good thrashing, and he smashes your windscreen & flattens your tires under the cover of darkness.

That's why I said to my husband: "For justice, we must go to Don Corleone!"

banat.hardkor 22:35 09.05.2010

Re: Bleurgh

I don't want to look over my shoulder for an indefinite period of time just because none of the legal avenues I'd tried prior to my cracking his spine yielded absolutely nothing. Not worth it.

I had this Finnish asshole of a neighbour in Canada and he had bought a foreclosed house next to out property as is. Then some months later he started beating around the bush regarding the property line. And it only got worse and worse as the days went by... Ahhh yessss... It's one of those disputes. I told him he was lucky we were in Canada.

Then the idiot tore half the house down and started remodeling. I logged onto the city's website, found the municipal building commission section, and looked for building permits issued for the asshole's address.

Sure enough, the data went back as far as the 1960s and each and every building permit ever issued for the property was listed there. The last one was back in the early 1980s. (This was in 2008). I took another sip of my ice-cold beer and phoned the building inspection. He got f+cked. Bad.

It felt awesome

Re: New Belgrade is soon to join the list...

If you mean to take up the side of non-dog eaters, remember this: We have anthropomorphized the Dog. We allow it Human status and attribute feelings to it and a soul. It may have these things, but we cannot know. Substitute the word Dog for Cow or Pig and see how you feel….

There is no excuse for cruelty to animals – or to our fellow humans while we are on the topic. But to just abandon dogs to the urban wilds also seems cruel to me.

Something should be done before someone takes me seriously and gets the grill ready for these poor dogs.

exactly the same, I'm also find it difficult!…but, somehow generally is accepted foster some animal for food,other not…thousands of years of human history can not be ignored…( talking about this culture, where both of us belong to)

Re: New Belgrade is soon to join the list...

I have dropped both cow and pig from my menu, and I don't remember the last time I had a steak or ћевапи or a burger. I do eat fresh fish and chicken. That's it.

To me, it is cruel to anthropomorphise an animal, as a human, would you like someone to ... crocodilise you?

To keep animals imprisoned - on a leash or locked in the house is cruel, having a pet is cruel. Making a dog dependant on you and your leash to go out and poop is extremely cruel.

Funny how people do that with an excuse of being animal lovers.

Re: New Belgrade is soon to join the list...

Especially if you have to pick up the crap.
Not to mention that the poop could be thin

Re: New Belgrade is soon to join the list...

Some people just like to play with poop I guess

Actually, I have divided feelings on the issue, I like animals and like to play with someone else's dog but me to keep a pet... not sure about that. If I was a dog, would probably prefer to be free and run in the peck of wild dogs.

And when I really want to piss pet lovers off, I say it is better to be served as a dinner than live in a custody, on a leash, imprisoned by some annoying human.

A Modest Proposal

For Preventing The Children of Poor People in Ireland
From Being Aburden to Their Parents or Country, and
For Making Them Beneficial to The Public

By Jonathan Swift (1729)

...

I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout.

Respect the law

The hospitality of Serbian people includes respect for the laws in force in our territory. Great is your happiness because Tomo Zoric not know English, and do not read the blog. In your text has elements of "calling for violence, and therefore pay attention not to suffer the consequences because" ignorance of the law does not justify

Chris Farmer 17:31 08.05.2010

Re: Respect the law

“Satire”

Often strictly defined as a literary genre or form, although in practice it can be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, human or individual vices, follies, abuses, or shortcomings are censured by ridicule, derision, burlesque, irony, or other methods, ideally with the intent of improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its purpose is often not so much humour for its own sake as an attack on something strongly disapproved by the satirist, using the weapon of wit.

A common feature of satire is strong irony or sarcasm -- "in satire, irony is militant"[2] -- but parody, burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used in satirical speech and writing. This "militant" irony or sarcasm often professes to approve (or at least accept as natural) the very things the satirist actually wishes to attack.

Re: Respect the law

Legal dokrina West is not yet dominant in Serbia. The defense should be better. Ask your legal consultant and determined that I was right. My intentions were good will.

Chris Farmer 16:10 09.05.2010

Re: Respect the law

I would be interested to see the statute declaring satire, irony, and sarsacm to be against the law.

Oh wait! that was also sarcastic! I mean I would NOT be interested.

I think....

Used so many times in poetry, music, arts...

Some people prefer English way . I am one of them.

I don't wanna holiday in the Sun,
I wanna go to New Belsen
I wanna see some history
'Cause now i got a reasonable economy...
