well, in some countries ; e.g. China and Korean ; including Vietnam , Dog meat is a superb dish.

It may seem heartbreaking for some people but sometime we have to accept cultural differences.

Pigs and chickens also have lives and blood but we seem not to care enought for them.bofbof

I accept the cultural differences wink_smile however, like to know really if this sell beside the street all over the country or just a special dishes in some restaurants or just or some events.

I believe there are graders of dog meat.

Grade 'C' meat is available out there on many streets of Vietnam.

You have to pay more in order to taste A meat in restuarants.

It seems like you have some experience about this topic, could you suggest what is the menu that most tourists are recommended to try?

sorry to say that I do not have first - handed experience but have been told that eating dogs in Vietnam and other countries mentions is very common.
