Dog meat is sometimes called 'fragrant meat' in China.

Dog meat is also known as "fragrant meat," a euphemism that is derived from an old saying that "no immortal can purify his mind when the fragrance of dog meat lingers." Canine meat is fancied by the Cantonese in South China and by a Korean ethnic group living along the Chinese border with North Korea.

It is my understanding that this term is actually referring to what Asians commonly have referred to as dog meat. It is considered illegal in USA.
