Mmmmm.... nothing like having some bo-shin-tang when it's hot.

It's a dog day afternoon as Koreans try to beat the heat
On one of the hottest days of the year, some turn to traditional cuisine to cool off: dog soup
SEOUL, South Korea â Thursday was not a good day to be a dog in South Korea. That's because it was one of the three hottest days according to the Korean lunar calendar â and dog soup is one way to beat the heat.
On "Chobok," people seeking to protect the body from overheating eat traditional healthy foods such as ginseng chicken soup, broiled eel, and "bo-shin-tang," literally "body preservation stew."
Dogs are bred to be eaten in South Korea, and advocates say bo-shin-tang, which consists of dog meat boiled in a mix of hot and strong spices and vegetables, is good for the health.
It is considered a delicacy by some.
