I'm sure we could use such a dish if y'all want to make it ;-)

Not necessarily emergency rations.  When we were caving in rural China in 
1993 and living off local rations, the cook finally came up with some really 
good meat.  Consistantly the best we had all month.  Turned out to be dog. 



Then we noticed in the vilages that kids and puppies were frolicking around, 
as do kids and puppies everywhere.  There was a lack of full-grown dogs, 
except that most families kept a well-cared bitch as a family friend and 
breeding stock. 



That observation is non-judgemental.  To keep the record straight, I love dogs 
and have had them most of my adult life.  You more mature cavers certainly 
remember Crooked Thumb and Woola.

2010-08-21 Thread dirtdoc


Well, I'd be glad to do so.  Unfortunately, we will be in the SW China Karst 
with our tour group at the time.  Best I can do is have a sumptuous serving 
myself, chase it with some fine Chinese beer, and think good thoughts of our 
friends and colleagues in Texas. 



  



That's the same reason we have been missing TCR in recent years.  It rains 2 
meters a year in the Chinese karst and the summers are hot, wet, muddy, and you 
cannot see much in the rain and clouds.   Lousy for tourism.   You have a 
narrow window in the spring, between winter and the monsoons, and that is the 
best time for serious exploration of the big river caves as the water in them 
is at its lowest.   Then the spring-summer rain and the river caves flush, some 
with 50 meters or more of water.   Many with less, but the lowest passages 
still become rather hostile. TCR typically conflicts with the best time for 
tourism in the karst of China. 





  

Pity.

I Agree they are more than emergency rations.
I spent 2 years in South Korea while in the army and there routine things on 
the menu were dogs, cats and field rats.
