We don't eat cats, right? And generally, we don't eat dogs, either.

Which got me thinking. Are there any carnivorous mammals which humans eat? Chicken, sheep, dear, horse (mmm, hmmm), cow etc are all herbivores.

Yet we do eat carnivorous fish and reptiles.

speak for yerself!

ummm, planning your first meal abroad are we?

Bear.

How is bear typically served?

Polar bear carpaccio sounds deliciously decadent.

One last gasp left Clucking Belle....make it a good one.

I'll shed a tear for you, but no more than one.

And I've had pike. It falls into the "fish and reptiles" category of above.

The spelling police missed that one ...

Yeah, I was thinking it's a mammal, but it's not.... but how about whale and dolphin? They're not fish... do people eat them? I'm pretty sure they do whales...

The reason we have mad cow disease is because you Brits were feeding cow parts to your cows, so I think that counts.

Pigs! They're carnivorous.

At least they were in 'Hannibal ...'

Only barbaric tribes, like the Norwegians, do, and generally not carnivorous species. I'd love to see the opening of a restaurant serving dolphin meat, however. Well, not so much the place itself as the reactions to it. It'd probably give the infernal snowball a run for the money.

Here's a few recipes if anyone is thinking of doing so...

Apparantly dolphin meat is passed off for whale meat in japan quite a lot, but contains toxins that could be harmful to humans.

do seals count?

I'm deathly allergic to cats...

Is there anything you're not a total geek about, Matt?

Just kidding. I love you really.

[See you in the tent at Glastonbury! *wink*]

A long time ago in a galaxy far,far away called DDR dog-meat was very famous in some regions- because they got no cows or pigs but a lot of dogs.

And remember: there were no supermarkets..

Thank´s to the "Real existierenden Sozialimus"

I can´t tell if they suffered any damage from the fried dogs

They eat Guinea Pig's in peru they do.I nearly tried some until someone said they had some the night before and it still had some of it's fur on

They are omnivorous, just like us, so they do indeed eat meat, any kind of meat, they aren't fussy about it.

Actually, as a curiosity, cats don't and won't eat pig or pork. If you feed your cat with chicken or turkey, they'll happily eat it, but even if they're hungry they won't touch pork meat. Interesting.

Besides pigs, we eat dogs, cats (you didn't really think that rabbit they served you in the restaurant was really rabbit, did you?), dolphins, rats, etc.

mainlanders. They'll eat anything!

And those are just carnivourous mammals, don't get me started with reptiles, insects and so much more.

Have you ever tried snail with cow brains?

Or pigs feet with cow tongue?

Or smoked pork blood sausage with cow tail?

Yum

Hey! You calling me barbaric?

Just for the record, I have never tasted whale. But we have it in stores, yes.
