Say it ain't so...
One of my son's friends (an NRI which is the only reason I am bothering to ask) told him to be careful we aren't served dog in India. I know there are cultures where dog is eaten, is India really one of them?

I think he must have been joking. I mean, when you see Indian dogs, you will not find them appetizing at all.

Dog meat is eaten (and with relish) in some parts of North-East India (Nagaland and Mizoram particularly - though it has been banned by the Mizoram govt
. But as pointed out by others, mentioning it elasewhere in India will result in raised eye brows only. |

Unfortunately, there are cat eaters in Chennai. The risk may be a lot lower than loosing one's cat to a passing car, but it does exist.
People travel everywhere in India for work, etc. The dog thing, I never, ever heard, though. |

The dog thing is a common misconception i tend to find floating around but it is , as mentioned, prevalent in the North-East.

In Britain we eat pig eyelashes and testicles and ears, mixed with bread. This is a delicacy known as a "sausage".
