A close friend of mine was born in China, but grew up in the US. He
makes periodic return trips to the village he was born in, staying in a
small house (a hut, really) that he and his brother still own.

He went there a year or two back, and one of the villagers offered to
cook his (the offeror's) dog for dinner. My friend thanked him for his
gracious offer, but declined.

Actually, I think he declined more because of the cost to the villager
than to a aversion to dog.
