Culinary notes from Cambodia:
A 25-year-old man who ate his hunting partner’s dog after it was killed in a monkey attack was shot dead by the canine’s owner with a crossbow last Tuesday. Police said the suspect and the victim were friends who were hunting together in Kratie’s Snuol district. It is understood the suspect shot his friend because he would not help save his dog from being killed in a monkey attack. The victim then took the dead dog home to eat. When the suspect saw this, he fired his crossbow at his friend killing him instantly. Police say the suspect confessed to the crime following his arrest.

That ought to teach him! The dead guy that is.

That still didn't beat the Chinese meat shop shown in National Geographic 20 years ago. Hanging in the window behind glass were whole dried rats. I'm sure those who have been to Laos and such could tell us more.
