dog meat
Controversial Asian cuisine
Dog meat is the flesh of dogs prepared as food.
In some East and Southeast Asian cuisines, dog is consumed traditionally, though the practice has become increasingly controversial.
In Western contexts, dog meat often appears in discussions of cultural food taboos or animal welfare.
Figuratively, to be dog meat is to be in serious trouble or doomed: If the boss finds out, you're dog meat.
