How much lo-mien can you make with 500 cats?

When I was overseas I had street food that was composed of cat and dog. I suspect that some of it may have also had rat and horse meat in it.

It was strange that after the first day of liberty the ship included a list of street vendors in the Word of the Day to be wary about. That they were using cats and dogs for their meat.
LOL, I had eaten something from two of those vendors on the list.

At the time, I noticed nothing strange.
I didn't get sick, had no ill effects.
After I read that posting - I felt queasy.

That's interesting Tom. I find it a little funny how we can eat something and think nothing of it, and then feel queasy after we discover what we are eating. It was like that for me when it came to hot dogs. I can't eat them now without thinking of ground up intestines...eeeew!

I detest hotdogs.
Red Hots, now that is something different.
LOL
I only eat the beef ones. Still beef by-products but at least they taste decent.

I read an article awhile back that suggested that the staple food in the future could be bugs. Eww!
I've talked with people that used to live in South America and roasted bugs are said to have a nutty flavor and are pretty good.
Down here the palm trees sometimes have huge wood roaches. I have no desire to grab one of those 2-3 inch nasty cockroaches and take a bite - roasted or not!

I know a woman that will not eat any seafood that crawlson the seafloor. I love lobster, she thinks its repulsive. I love king crab, she shivers in disgust.

We had a pizza joint called World Pizza that specialized in different toppings people put on their pizzas from all over the world.
Some samples of strange things other people eat on pizza:

The English have found out a novel way of having a wholesome breakfast on a pizza. The breakfast pizza is topped with tomatoes, potatoes, mushrooms, sausage, bacon, baked beans and cheese with sunny-side-up eggs.

One of the most-eaten pizzas in France is flambee pizza, which originated in the Alsatian region. It is a thin crust pizza baked in wood oven and generally topped with bacon, onion and fresh cream.

The Danish have taken the already flamboyant pizza to another level by adding horse meat to it.

Coconut on pizza might sound weird to you, but in Costa Rica, it is consistently the most preferred topping. The other favored topping is shrimp.

Now, this one's for those with a tolerant nose. One of the most commonly consumed pizza in Russia is mockba, which is topped with sardines, tuna, mackerel, onion, salmon and red herring.

A typical Indian pizza has a topping of tandoori chicken or mutton, pickled ginger and paneer (cottage cheese), with loads of mayonnaise on top of it.

Green peas are one of the most favorite vegetables of Brazilians, so much so that they like to add peas, carrots, quail eggs, beets and raisins on their thin crust pizza as topping.

Okonomiyaki is generally smaller in size than the traditional pizza and is topped with cabbage, pork, noodles, and squid. In this layered pizza, noodles are generally topped with fried eggs and okonomiyaki sauce.

Pizza lovers in Germany love to top it with seafood, especially canned tuna.

Lahmacun is a variant of pizza in Turkey and Armenia that features a thin bread crust, served with minced meat and vegetables, onion, herbs and tomatoes.

The Hungarian version of pizza is slightly different as the dough is deep-fried, after which it is topped with sour cream, meat, ketchup, garlic sauce or garlic butter. It is known as langos, and is very common street food there.

In Sweden, the topping combination of Pizza Africana is very interesting - peanuts, bananas, chicken, pineapple and loads of curry powder, and is often known as banana curry pizza.

The Japanese love to add seafood on top of their pizza. Their favorite toppings include octopus, cod roe, tuna and seaweed.

A restaurant in Finland named its famous pizza, "Pizza Berlsconi," topped with smoked reindeer, chanterelle mushrooms and red onions, after former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi.

In Japan, there is a seafood-themed pizza is topped with varieties of seafood and squid ink is used in place of tomato sauce. This pizza uses no cheese.

In Palestine, most pizzas are topped with pine nuts, spices and cinnamon mixed in olive oil.

Australians love to have their pizzas topped with kangaroo, emu and crocodile meat.

Melmacians Pizza...

I enjoy trying out different dishes from other cultures.

Ditto but some things are just too strange.

I am an admin at a SHTF Prepper site.
We are always playing out scenarios for doomsday and what we would or couldn't do.

If my life depended on it my preferences for foods would change. But, if given the choice, I prefer only experimenting with foods.

Alligator used to be something I would never dream of eating.
I tried it out of curiosity and its is good.
I even use it in certain dishes I cook for its unusual taste.
But its not a staple food choice.

In some parts of the world cats and dogs are a staple food choice.
If SHTF would I eat my cat or dog?
Depends on if I am starving to death or not.
