Today one of my classes was writing journals and one girl wrote about her birthday. She wrote that she had cake and octopus. I asked her if she liked octopus and she told me yeah it was yummy. What kid in the US would eat octopus and want it for their birthday dinner? Anyway, we started talking about the foods they eat so I asked about eating dog. They both (only 2 in this class) seemed pretty appalled by the idea of eating dog. I know they eat dog here, but I don't know how common it is especially with people who have money.
