They Eat Dogs in Korea.
When I was stationed there every unit had Dogs for Pets.
The dogs would be waiting out side the mess halls.
I the Winter when times were hard the dogs would disappear.
Only ones that survived were the ones that would not let a Korean near
them.
We had one old dog named Major that we would have to bail out every once
in a while.
We had to pay off the Korean he bit because he got too close (was
probably trying to kidnap dog).
Only Beef I saw was pulling a plow and by the time he died of old age I
would rather Eat the Dog.

There's a marvellous SF book by Donald Kingsbury 'Geta'. I believe it was
called 'Courtship Rites' in America about an energy poor planet.  Man has
colonised it in the distant past it is not really suitable for sustaining
human life. It's indigenous plants and animals cannot be eaten so are
'profane' and the only flesh available is human, so cannibalism has become a
sacred ritual. It talks about eating unwanted babies but doesn't mention
what the flesh tastes like. It really is a fascinating book about the kind
of society that could grow up. it was always one of my favourites.

There's a short story somewhere, the aliens come to earth and contrary
to expectations don't dominate us. Instead help us settle our
international differences without war, end disease, poverty, starvation.

many of them carry a small book with them, which they consult often when
working with us to solve our problems; seems to be, perhaps, some
religious text??  Almost impossible to read their written language, and
when asked they demur, saying it's not really relevant.

Finally someone manages to get hold of a copy and after a couple of
years succeeds in translating the title:
How To Serve Man

It's a cookbook.
