A New Low In British Cuisine?

From the AP: Artist eats dog to protest alleged animal cruelty

A British performance artist has eaten part of a corgi -- the breed of dog Queen Elizabeth II favors as pets -- to protest the alleged mistreatment of animals by the royal family.

Mark McGowan dined on corgi meatballs Tuesday at a table set up on a London street in hopes of drawing attention to media reports that Prince Philip, the queen's husband, had beaten a fox to death during a hunt. The event was broadcast over a live radio program.

Yoko Ono, featured on the same radio program, also tasted a bit of the dog, McGowan said.

To make the corgi more palatable, it was minced with apple, onion and seasoning, turned into meatballs and served with salad.

It's an abomination. Corgi meatballs and SALAD? Corgi meatballs in a nice Hungarian goulash maybe, but salad?? Never with salad.
