About "weird" - In every culture, diet is strongly influenced by the environment it originates in. Meat is taken from available sources, just as vegetation - fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices. There are also religious taboos that often have originated in truly health conscious practices, that get handed down over generations prohibiting the consumption of various items that may be part of the diet of a different culture.
Weird is a subjective perspective - many people in my "culture" would consider it weird to add sweet spices to meat dishes, yet there are cultures that consider that standard. One of the "weirder" things eaten by some Asian cultures is "balloot" - any of you ever try one? They are eggs with the fetus of the chicken still in them, and I do not recall the preparation process. A standard delicacy that I have discussed with many of my "Asian" American friends, along with many non-Asians that have travelled or lived there. Although I do not condone the eating of dogs, cats, or many other species, I do eat chicken, beef, lamb, pork and fish.
Initially I was going to post the difference between an aware being like a dog and a food being like a chicken. Then I remembered my Grandma's hens, and how much she interacted with them, and how entertaining they were. It gives one pause for thought, yet I still eat chicken and could not knowingly eat dog meat. I do not condone what appears to be a very inhumane and unsanitary practice in Korea and other countries of processing dogs.
Yet we here stuff intestine with all sorts of meat and fat and God-knows-what and devour them with relish - pun intended. I would be willing to bet some other cultures would consider that weird.
