When I was a child growing up in the Philippines I had a taste of some kind of dog stew made up of the neighbour's pet. I remember playing with days before the meal. It tasted the way a wet dog smells in case you are wondering. That was over 40 years ago and I hear it's illegal to eat dog there now. Today they are just getting fat over McDonald's and KFC.
In 1965 in Subic bay, we were told to skip eating off the base, because you didn't know if you were eating dog, cat, or monkey. It was pretty much the same in Vietnam.
But, after about $3.00 worth of beer (it was $.25 per can), you just didn't care, and couldn't taste anything anyway.
It was a different world. A hooker cost $1.00, a steak (if it were a steak. Who knew?) in a "fine" restaurant cost $1.00 as well.
For $5.00 you had one hell of a day and night...
