One of the most common stereotypical food dishes for East Asian, and Southeastern Asian countries is the flesh from dogs and cats. This is usually done to convey how different Asian cultures are from the rest of the world since cynophagy is considered taboo in the West. The only country that seems to get a break from this is Japan, and even then, eating domesticated pets isn't illegal there. Some could also argue that eating dogs and cats isn't any worse than eating rabbits, cattle, chickens, and pigs, as all of these can be raised as pets or as livestock just like dogs and cats. This is Truth in Television to an extent, as cynophagy is practiced in many Asian countries. In fact, China used to even have dog meat festivals until the Chinese government banned the commercial slaughter and sale of dogs for human consumption. However, this trope is often exaggerated by fictional stereotypes. Also, due to globalization and health concerns, many localities in these territories have been moving away from the consumption of these animals either unofficially or by law. South and West Asian people are usually stereotyped the opposite way due to both cultures being known for religious dietary restrictions. For example, Islam is famously particular about which meat is halal (clean) and haram (unclean), dogs and cats both falling under the latter category. Likewise many Hindus and Buddhists are vegetarian, and even those who aren't tend to avoid beef in particular, so eating weird animals is not associated with them either (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom notwithstanding). This trope is considered outdated to the point of being a Dead Horse Tropenote Funny enough, on the emphasis "horse," Chinese people and Koreans rarely eat horse meat, while Japanese and Mongolian people do. As mentioned above, a lot of countries in Asia have outlawed the consumption of pet meat, especially since the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic, when it was suspected that the virus originated from a fish market in China. A good majority of these examples are just Asian characters being teased about eating pet meat, or a vibe to not go to Asian restaurants because of the possibility of eating pet meat. Many relatively "straight" examples of this trope seem to come from Vietnam War era depictions. Due to Values Dissonance, if a work were to play this trope straight now, it would be heavily criticized. These days, one is more likely to see this stereotype brought up to display a non-Asian character's ignorance and/or racism. Sub-Trope of Foreign Queasine, since it's almost always non-Asian works making this joke. Almost always overlaps with Exotic Entree. Expect I Ate WHAT?! after someone eats a particular Asian meat dish if they manage to accidentally consume dog, cat, or other pet meat. |

Barking Dogs Never Bite: This film lampoons, among other things, the Korean habit of eating dog (which is a true thing, although it's increasingly out of style). A man tries to kill a Mister Muffykins by locking it up in the basement of an apartment building. He thinks better of it and goes downstairs to release the dog, only to find that the building's handyman has killed the dog and made it into a stew. | |

Spirou & Fantasio :Up to parody levels each time Chinese mafia is involved. A Chinese cook is seen pursuing a dog with a rolling pin near the end of Vito la déveine, and Vito states you that you can't trust people who eat sliced dogs. In Luna fatale, a Chinese shop owner mistake Spip for a small dog, and states that "We Chinese people love dogs". In the New York album, members of the Triad actually try to eat Spip, "a tradition", according to them. The Chinese mafiosi are also often shown eating unusual animals such as snakes, jellyfishes, lizards, or scorpions. | |

American Born Chinese: During Jin Wang's first day of school, Timmy, a white classmate, mentions how his mom told him that Chinese people eat dogs. The teacher, who is also white, tells Timmy that Jin probably doesn't do that, and assures him that he and his family stopped doing so after immigrating to the US, highlighting how hurtful anti-Asian beliefs manifest even in peers with no actual malice towards Jin. Later, another white classmate mocks Jin during lunch by suggesting that he's busy eating Lassie. Walking Chinese stereotype Chin-Kee eats cat gizzards for lunch (Yes, we know cats don't have gizzards; it's a reference to a notorious anti-Chinese cartoon by the US editorial cartoonist Pat Oliphant). |

In the King of the Hill episode "Westie Side Story", the Souphanousinphone family, originally from Laos, moves in next to the Hills. Hank and his friends, especially Dale, worry if the stereotype about Asians eating dogs is true. Their suspicions aren't helped when Bobby Hill and Connie Souphanousinphone try and fail to get their families' dogs — Ladybird and Doggie respectively — to be friends, resulting in them running off and going missing right before a local barbecue. The Stinger has Minh trying out Peggy's various foods, but gets disgusted with her rabbit stew, stating rednecks will eat anything.note Rabbit meat is not considered a delicacy in Asia outside of China | |

MAD Magazine: In one issue, there were a series of charts called "Cause or Coincidence?" showing possibly-linked trends; one showed the cat population of the US decreasing, and another showed the number of Chinese restaurants in the US increasing at the same rate. Issue 166 from 4/74 had a feature on how to "Eat Out and Lose Weight," which suggested dining in settings where you're likely to lose your appetite, such as a seat within smelling range of the men's room. One idea said to enter Chinese restaurants through the kitchen; the illustration depicted a cat about to be slaughtered. |

Used as a [possible] morbid sight gag in Silent Hill 3, one of the keys you have to get to progress through the game is found inside of a roasted dog served on a platter in a Chinese restaurant.

Lucky Luke: One Rantanplan story has Rantanplan be the Pet Heir to a large amount of property, including most of a Chinatown. This causes him to be variously abducted by the residents of the Chinatown to protest the rents and living conditions or taken by a restaurant to be made into lacquered coyote while still alive (Rantanplan thinks he's enjoying a sauna in a beauty salon). Meanwhile, the Daltons get involved (as they're next in the inheritance after Rantanplan) after Averell mentions he wanted to try eating dog, leading to the Chinese allying with the Daltons. | |

M*A*S*H: In one episode, Hawkeye is away from the camp and suffers a mild concussion. Taking refuge with a Korean family, he monologues non-stop in order to stay awake, as he knows falling asleep after the head injury is a bad idea. He has to talk to himself, as none of them speak English. At the end of the episode, he returns to their home to thank them. Joining them for a meal, the episode ends with this: In one episode, "Mad Dogs and Servicemen," Radar is bitten by a local dog that he'd been feeding on the sly. When Col. Blake points out that rabies is a very real concern, they try to find the animal to determine if it's rabid. But when they ask one Korean family about the dog, they say something in Korean which they quickly learn means "dog stew." |

In Gran Torino, the grumpy old man protagonist pesters his Hmong neighbors with dog-eating remarks. In turn Sue, the young neighbor, snarks they only do cats. He seems to be confused about whether or not to believe in the stereotype, but is willing to give them some trust over the matter. In the end, when his last will is read, it turns out he wished to leave his dog in their care on the condition they won't eat him. | |

An early episode of the drama China Beach had a startling instance of this stereotype played very straight in Vietnam. A new nurse notices a stall selling puppies. She signs that she wants one, and stopped paying attention as the seller picked up the dog. She is horrified to be handed a paper bag that seemed wet, as the puppy had been killed for cooking purposes. | |

Family Guy: In a deleted scene from the episode "Tiegs for Two," Mr. Washee Washee comes to the Griffin household for dinner. Stewie teases Brian (who is a dog) and says that he bets that Mr. Washee Washee thinks Brian is what's for dinner. Brian says that's a racist stereotype, however, Mr. Washee Washee jokes about eating Brian for dinner, which leads the latter to run in a panic. In "Dog Gone", Brian holds an animal rights meeting and points out that people eat dogs in some Asian countries. However, this only makes the attendees curious as to what dog tastes like and decide to eat him. In "Road to the Multiverse," when Stewie and Brian end up stranded in a universe where humans are pets to anthropomorphic dogs, Brian meets the dog versions of the Griffins and claims that Stewie is his pet human, Gabe. Stewie mutters under his breath that he hopes the next universe they go to is all Koreans. In "Candy Quahog Marshmallow," one of the lyrics to Peter, Cleveland, and Joe's pop song that they put on to convince Quagmire not to stay in Korea is "You really love pussy, they eat dog." |

Inubaka: Discussed by Kim, a Korean transfer student who initially fears dogs because dog-eating is common in his home country, and a lot of the local strays become feral as a result. One of them bit him badly enough to leave a scar, and this traumatized him. He eventually gets over his fear of dogs and end up adopting a Shiba puppy. | |

In one gag of Billy & Buddy, Boule and his parents unsuccessfully try to find a restaurant where they can have lunch, as they won't allow dogs in -thus, Bill. After a few rejections, the family try a Chinese restaurant, and the owner answers: "Of course, we accept dogs! We like dogs! In fact, we love them!" while looking at Bill so suspiciously that the latter run away. | |
