Default TRAVEL WARNING: Avoid the little tiger dish in Vietnam

In vietnam some places will offer the special "Little Tiger" disk to
foreigners and not explain to them that the dish is practically cooked cat.
Unfortunately when you are served you cannot tell it is cat and the meat is
confused for venison. This dish is commonly served in Can Tho, Bien Hoa and
sometimes Ho Chi Minh City.

uh -- if you can't tell what it is, what difference does it make what it
is? [I will draw the line at human of course]

Is cat meat dangerous to humans?

I don't know. I'd eat it, if it was good. Is it?

One of my favorite thai dishes is a certain kind of frog soup. Really
looks like three blanched frogs sitting atop some spinach! Never seen it
in the west though...

Why would they think something named "Little Tiger" would be venison?

Delicacies such as cat are often a little dear.
