I was inspired by this btwSEOUL, April 26 (AFP) - Foreigners will be invited to try
specially prepared dog meat juice outside the World Cup stadium in a
bid to fight 'prejudice' against the South Korean delicacy,
restaurateurs said Friday.
'We plan to develop canned dog meat tonic juice, which football
fans can enjoy in their stadium seats while watching games,' said
Choi Han-Gwon, a leader of a national association of dog meat
restaurants.
'They will enjoy it instead of Coke,' he said.
The association will recruit volunteers among foreigners to help
hand out free dog meat juice in disposable containers outside the
Sangam Stadium in Seoul, he said.
'They will help us explaining to foreigners about the innocence
of consuming dog meat,' he said.
But he flatly denied local press reports that the association
would offer up dog meat hamburgers and sandwiches during the
football event.
'We don't want sensationalism or excessive publicity about dog
meat as we fear that there would be a backlash from the government,'
Choi said.
