If your pet were to die, what would be the best way to cook it?

Asked by ragingloli (52278points) November 28th, 2013

Assuming of course that the meat is not contaminated by disease.
What would be the best dishes to turn your dead dog/cat/guinea pig into, depending on its age?

An “El Taco Veloz” in Atlanta was surprise inspected.

Dogs were found in the frizzer.

I won’t cook my pet!
Seeing it die is just too painful an experience for me to even bury it, let alone cook it!
I make an exception for fish though :p

Stewed. Although ground and browned with spices then wrapped in dough to make potstickers is a popular recipe.

There’s plenty of other food out there. I would leave my pet to rest in peace.

I would advise against eating cats. Carnivores tend to taste rather nasty.

Can’t imagine Schrödinger has much meat to him. It would probably have to be something highly seasoned, like ground taco meat.

I’ve been waiting for the question about Brian’s death on Family Guy. Is this it?

ragingloli's avatar

@filmfann
No, it is not. I do not care about that series.

SecondHandStoke's avatar

^But Brian (a dog) has sex with humans in it.

ragingloli's avatar

@SecondHandStoke
And neither the dog, nor the humans in it are even remotely attractive.

They do not have to, in order to make them look attractive: N.S.F.W.

Really not bad for Rule 34 art.

Over the blazing funeral pyre of anyone who suggests that I do such a thing.

Since I know this is just meant to upset people, I’ll play along.
I think a nice pate’ would be good.

When my dog misbehaved I would threaten to turn her into a Vietnamese curry. She would only hear the word “curry”, and wag her tail expecting to be fed.

@filmfann
According to this korean, dog meat is rather tasty.

That blog post brings up some interesting thoughts about the culture of meat-eating. Particularly the mention of the separation of “dogs as pets” and “dogs as food”. I guess it’s a bit like someone keeping a pet pig, and still being happy to eat bacon. What upsets me the most about people in countries like that eating dog meat, isn’t the fact that it’s a dog. It’s the fact that the industry is unregulated and so the dogs are badly mistreated, both at slaughter and before.

We threaten to send Frodo to a South Carolina kill shelter whe he is naughty but I don’t think he would braise well.

If it was a dog I suppose it wouldn’t mind a wok.

Come near my goose and I’ll have YOU trussed up over a spit, doused in lighter fluid after I let you hang from the snare for an hour upside down, slowly twirling and before I club you to death with a shovel. Terrible question.

ragingloli's avatar

geese are made to be eaten.

Coloma's avatar

….and dull Jacks ask questions such as these. Not amusing, and no, nothing is “made” to be eaten. Humans have decided what animals are “made” to be eaten.
Peoples pets are family members, why don’t you ask ” If one of your family members died what would be the best way to cook cook them?”

Stupid and offensive Q.

SecondHandStoke's avatar

^“Offensive” is still, for the time being. a subjective term.

Nature, evolution if you will has decided what is fit for humans to eat.

Coloma's avatar

@SecondHandStoke No, evolution has not determined what is fit for humans to eat. Humans experimented and discovered the foods they eat as they went along. Yes, certain species evolved as carnivores, herbivores or omnivores, and humans are omnivores, however, discovering that animal meat was edible has nothing to do with evolution and everything to do with humans adaptive and explorative side.

I’ll grant you that the term “offensive: is subjective, so, to clarify I find this question childish and offensive to those that consider their pets to be companions not food.
My pet goose is 15 and I raised him from a tiny gosling. I have had to put up with the Christmas goose jokes for years, people think they are so clever, original and amusing, they are not.

SecondHandStoke's avatar

^How is the experimentation you describe not a part of evolution?

Is his name Ryan?

Coloma's avatar

^^^ Ryan….what? Oooh…I get it, as in Ryan Gosling. heh…cute.
Okay, I concede on adaptability being an evolutionary trait, however… in this day and age making jokes about eating our pets and companion animals is in very poor “taste“Enough already, I shouldn’t have engaged in this insanity to begin with. My bad.

Hope you remember that next time you eat rabbit, piglet, or veal.

@ragingloli I don’t eat any of those and this is still an offensive question. Which again, I know you asked this question to ruffle feathers. It’s how you get your jollies apparently.
