Dog meat, also known as fragrant meat or simply fragrant,[4][5] is the meat derived from dogs. Historically human consumption of dog meat has been recorded in many parts of the world.[6]
Some cultures view the consumption of dog meat as part of their traditional, ritualistic, or day-to-day cuisine, and other cultures consider consumption of dog meat a taboo, even where it had been consumed in the past. Opinions also vary drastically across different regions within different countries.[15][16]
