In the first chapter of his latest book Eating Animals, American author and vegetarian Jonathan Safran Foer lists reasons why it would be quite ethical to eat dogs. At the end of the chapter he lists a classic Filipino recipe for ‘Stewed Dog, Wedding Style’. In today’s Observer Food Monthly’s vegetarian special, Foer is among several celebrities who share their favourite vegetarian recipes. His is for popcorn.
