FT.com / In depth - Beijing wants dogs off menu during Olympics

"In an unusual Chinese campaign against canine-based cuisine, Beijing has called on local hotels and restaurants to stop serving dog meat during the Olympic Games next month."

Chinese immigrants and native Texans don't understand each other that well. Like when we walk into a Chinese restaurant and tell them we're in the mood for some chow.

When I did that the other day, the waiter told me they were out of chow but had some lovely springer spaniel with a light cashew glaze.
