Wouldn'a been so bad if he'd provided a recipe.
"Mark McGowan dines on what he said was a corgi. He hopes to draw attention to reports that Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth's husband, had beaten a fox to death."
So, why didn't he eat a Beagle?
"McGowan, a British artist, talks to reporters at his protest. He said the corgi meat he ate was mixed with apple, onion and seasoning and served with a salad."
Well, there ya go. Maybe Food TV will do a Semi-Homemade segment on Corgi braised in canned mushroom soup.

The current key word is "allegedly" ... people are questioning if he really did. Anyway, he allegedly picked the Corgie because it died at a breeder's. It wasn't killed just for him to eat it.

You would think he would have had the ba**s to kill and dress out his own corgi if he were a serious performance artist. Sheesh!
Why not a foxhound, if he really wants to hit fox hunting where it lives.
Probably because the Corgi is the Queen's favourite breed of dog, and the Queen's consort is accused of beating a fox to death.
I was reacting to the question of why he didn't eat a beagle.
I knew about Corgis being the favorite, and I knew about the accusation of having beaten the fox to death. Truthfully, I have been around a while and I do know how to read.
But please, go ahead and snip the rest of the post. I only included it because it is of no importance.
<dunce>
And I was simply responding to your single question, not your entire post, and I snipped the rest because I had nothing to say about it or to contribute to it.
Sheesh, I wasn't suggesting you couldn't read or were uninformed, I was just pointing out what seemed to me to be the reasoning behind the choice of which breed of dog to eat given who was involved in the alleged incident, but if you prefer to infer insult where none was intended or made, knock yourself out.

China is known to breed dogs for the table; I believe the Saint Bernard is a popular choice because of its size.
So why not great danes?
I've no idea; for all I know, Great Danes could also very well be raised as food in China.

and videotaped the process, of course.
It's not the dog part that's totally grossing me out. It's the "predead" part. Who would eat a dead fish that they just happen to find floating in the water? Ugh. Pre-dead shellfish anyone?

FWIW, my sport of choice is equestrian jumping. I would love, absolutely love to go on a fox hunt. Charging along cross country and jumping fences while following the hounds would be a blast. Foxes are varmints around here and shot on sight, not only because they kill livestock but because they are notorious for carrying rabies.
Where I used to work they were being chased out of their natural habitat by rampant development. There was a copse of woods where a mother and her kits lived. They started tearing down the trees to build yet another useless office building (there were plenty of them around with space as not yet rented). The fox and her kits would romp around in the grassy area by the remaining woods next to the parking lot where I worked.
Most of us were delighted to be able to see them from the office windows. But *some* people were afraid of them, much as they are afraid of dogs, and insisted management "do something" about them. They weren't hurting anyone. They weren't foaming at the mouth or even approaching people, although they did look for scraps of food around the dumpsters when no one was around.
I gave someone in management information for having them humanely trapped and let go in a non-urban area. The foxes disappeared. I have no idea if they were actually humanely trapped or if some idiot went out and killed them for daring to infringe on the development of "man".

A few years back there was a documentary on "urban" wildlife on, I believe, the Discovery Channel. Seems a large number of critters live in the city now including fox, coyote, raccoons, etc. Camera crew was out at night with low light lens shooting the critters as they came out to search for food. Pretty interesting.
I live in a small city in Louisiana and we have raccoons, opossums, armadillos, etc. Saw a young deer trotting down the street the other morning in the wee hours.
George
Yes! I have my fair share of oppossums and raccoons (they were raiding my garbage cans at one point!). Lots of birds, I love birds. And I've seen deer standing by the side of the road. I live right near a protected area, Shelby Farms, where there is a bison range. It's fun to watch the little bitty bisons (they are about as tiny as Great Dane dogs!) stumbling after mamma. I hope those foxes were relocated, not killed. They weren't hurting anyone. But I'll never know.

prior to WWII snapping turtle farming was a good business down South, particularly in LA. i don't have a problem with people eating farmed turtle soup, but snapping turtles are becoming an endangered species in the wild. yes, i know you think you see lots of snappers, but... it takes 25 years for a snapping turtle to reach sexual maturity (shell size over 12"😉, a female only lays eggs every other year usually & out of an average nest of eggs (25-40), only one turtle will survive to maturity. snappers are really very nice turtles, although rather misunderstood 🙂 lee <has a nearly 3 year old baby snapper. yes, in the house. no, he doesn't bite>

You'll have to get in line Tammy. Lots of ladies around here like me because I say "Mam", open doors for them, and am polite. Seems some parents no longer teach their children to be courteous. I've been with #1 wife since June of 1958 when we met as eighteen year olds and I wouldn't know what to do without her.

One summer as a teen I babysat for 4 boys under 11 yo and 5 chihuahaus. That, plus working the zoo shift at Burger King, made me what I am today 🙂
