Names

[edit]

Can somebody confirm whether the listed names all refer to the same dish? Perhaps a few of them refer to other dog meat dishes? I've read a website claiming there are many other recipes, but bosintang is the only one I've heard of. If there really are that many, perhaps we should move names such as tan'gogi / dangogi (doesn't this refer to the meat rather than a particular dish?) to Dog meat#Korea.

They are not names of dishes. They are two words strung together. _____ soup, insert a word here and thats the list.

Its similar to me listing a bunch of soup like this

good soup tasty soup great soup sour soup chicken soup

There is 1 chinese recipe. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 99.246.138.107 (talk) 04:22, August 20, 2007 (UTC)

Yukgaejang (육개장) is not beef offal soup. It is a soup that was originally made from dog meat, as the name suggests, but now is made with beef, not beef offal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.163.97.74 (talk) 17:52, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From what I know, Gaejang (개장) is the Korean name for dog soup. For the people who would not eat dog meat, a dish replacing dog meat with beef was developed, called Yukgaejang (육개장). Also, a dish replacing dog meat with chicken was develped, called Dakgaejang (닭개장). Yukgaejang and Dakgaejang have become kind of mainstream food in South Korea as dog meats have become repugnant food these days. Hkwon (talk) 23:17, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Does it matter what kind of dog is used? I would imagine that a German Shepherd might not taste the same as a Poodle or a Golden Retriever. Are some breeds considered tastier than others? What about wild dogs? Do they have a gamey taste to them?108.23.147.17 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:33, 2 March 2012 (UTC).[reply]
I've added a link to Nureongi in the See also section to address this question in the future. 76.10.128.192 (talk) 14:10, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

뭉뭉탕

[edit]

Are you sure it shouldn't be 멍멍탕? Maybe a lover of this soup can shine his/her light on it ;-) Kbarends (talk) 10:36, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am not a particular lover of this dish, but the correct Korean word for it is '멍멍탕' as you pointed out. I believe the current article is edited to correct the error you found out. Hkwon (talk) 23:07, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adding wrong tags

[edit]

I think someone is wrongfully disparaging this article, adding POV and unreferenced tags and hoax articles category for no good reason. I removed them. Hkwon (talk) 05:05, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about the hoax and POV, but the "unreferenced" is definitely the case. The reference articles fail to verify a number of the statements: for instance, the bits about the Three Kingdoms period and the "consumed as a tonic food during the three hottest days of the year" (which is pretty nonsensical when you think of it - how can you know when those are going to be?). Presumably this refers to Chobok, Jungbok and Malbok - the "Dog Days" - that are ritually defined as the hottest by lunar calendar, though they may not literally be so; so this needs reliably sourced explanation.

You said undereferenced? I don't understand how can someone who upload any content without any reliable academic support can say something like this. If you have any problem, dig into the references more and find a reliable counter-reference and upload it. What "Three kingdoms" and "Tonic food"? Whatever Web browser you use, try the "search" command and if the article had any words like "tonic food" in the article. Hkwon (talk) 08:46, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

dangogi..

[edit]

dangogi is patois of north korea. it's mean gaegogi(dog meat).

on (il)legality

[edit]

i know this one seems to be a confusing point, as the gaegogi page says something different to what this originally said but i have dug and found a few sources to back up the edits (the original reference for this section was a personal blog, which in wikipedia's guidelines isn't a particularly reliable source)

I also removed the phrase "to remove the stench of dog meat" as this seems to a personal statement from a non-neutral viewpoint that certainly isn't backed up by the sources. i have left the factual remainder of the sentence in place.

Stop adding bad sources or original research

[edit]

Read WP:RELIABLE and WP:ORIGINAL before you edit.

I get that this is a sensitive topic and I think most people (including me) probably even agree with your overall sentiment. But if you bring in low quality information (poorly written, unreliable or no sources) to put it down, it doesn't make your argument seem more credible, it makes it seem way less.

It's not even like there's a shortage of good reliable sources that you'd probably even agree with. If you care about the topic and want to share the truth about it, spend more than 10 seconds on your edit. toobigtokale (talk) 23:51, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you want to contribute to the body sections, unless you're adding critically important info (e.g. a ban on dog meat or something) make sure it's focused on bosintang and not dog meat as a whole. Info about dog meat consumption as a whole should go in the Dog meat consumption in South Korea article instead. toobigtokale (talk) 00:05, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
