In which cultures are dogs considered a delicacy?

Answer 1

Not sure if any cultures really consider them a delicacy, but there are cultures that consider them typical, normal food, common like hamburger is here.

China consumes the most dogmeat, and I read that there are over 6000 restaurants in Korea that have dog meat on the menu. Basically, it seems, the European/western cultures are the non-eaters of dog meat. Go here for names of countries who's cultures eat dog meat as a regular part of their diets:

Answer 2

I was born in Hawaii, and some of the people living there ate dog. They would basically give the dog nothing but water for a few days, then feed it spices, to make the meat taste better. One of them told my mother that they only eat the light-colored dogs because the darker ones have evil spirits that make them dark. But another person told my mother that the real reason was that the meat from dark-colored dogs was stringy.
