What Dog Meat Did To Me, I will Never Forget In A Hurry
Eating an unknown variety of meat can be dangerous, given that the aftereffect can be disastrous and irredeemable. The foregoing is a tale in Calabar that broke my heart.
I visited my fiancee in Calabar, Cross River State last week to finalize my wedding arrangements with my in-laws. The journey was very smooth and everything went on very well.
The entire family welcomed me warmly and she promptly entertained me with delicious native meals which include pepper soup, sumptuous meals and fresh chilled palm wine to push down the food.
Ordinarily, I don’t eat any kind of meat, but for my love for her and the sweetness of the meal, I devoured everything that was offered to me, after eating she made me take an oath that I will not change my mind, which I promptly did.
My discussion with the in-laws went smoothly and we had a very good time together. On my way home, she propped up a question, and said, “honey, be honest with me, did you enjoy all the meals I served you today? I promptly answered in the affirmative, yes dear, I enjoyed it so much.
However, trouble started when she informed me that all the meats I consumed was Dogmeat, I reacted with an exclamation, “What?”.
It broke my heart because in my community, eating dog meat is a taboo and right now I have lost interest and don/t know what to do? I cannot marry her anymore. Please can someone advise me on the next step to take? Eating dog meat is not what I bargained for. She is pleading for forgiveness which I promise that I will but cannot marry her anymore. What do you think is the best way to handle this situation?
