With the 2008 Beijing Olympics in full swing and international athletes sampling Chinese competition, culture and food–one event is NOT on the menu, dog.

The BBC reports that China has instituted a ban on serving dog meat at its 112 official Olympic restaurants. The put in motion is human being of several steps China has taken not offend foreign visitors; smiling and not spitting on the streets are others.

“If a customer orders dog meat, restaurant staff should patiently remind of another entree,” Xiong Yumei, deputy director of the Beijing Tourism Bureau, told the state-run Xinhua news agency.

Dog meat is commonly eaten in many Asian countries–just Google “dog meat” and you’ll see what I mean–but it’s largely a taboo in Westernized nations, except for the hotdog of course!

Now, I don’t eat somewhat meat, but I wonder if erosive dog AND cat gives you an upset stomach.
