Anything but Beef

Colleague just got back from France and was talking about this cooking class she attended there.

Kelik : The chef ask one of the guys to leave cause he refuses to leave his dog at the door.

Me: Hm..if I am the chef I will ask him to put his dog on the chopping board.

Kelik: Hahaha... wait, you kidding right?

Me: In china, you bring dog in kitchen, it's food.

Kelik: OH MY GOD!

Me: Dogs are consider delicacy in Asia but no worries, I no eat dog. Dog is friend not food....can't say about cat though.

Kelik: O_O

Me: Joking, I no eat cats either. Hate them but won't eat them. But I've eaten weird things like crocodile meat and big monitor lizards.

Kelik: Big lizards? Like the Galapagos lizards?

Me: Er ..maybe not so big, smaller. Croc meat good for asthma. I don't like it though.

Kelik: Wow, you eat some pretty weird shit.

Me: Not really, I don't eat beef.

Kelik: .... ... ... no beef

Me: Yes no beef.

Kelik: .... but beef is not weird. Is it just you or Chinese?

Me: Just us who pray to the Goddess of Mercy.

Kelik: Oh, religious.

Me: Yea..

Kelik: But they eat dogs?

Me: ....if desperate.

Kelik: O__O
