Did Lee Mack unwittingly eat a dog? - Would I Lie to You?

Lee: "In a restaurant in China, I unwittingly ordered and ate dog." Series 1 Episode 2.

[medievalist]

Season One had such quick rounds. Lee and David could spin 10 minutes of laughs out of that story these days.

[rad]

You can get it's an early episode by the fact that David is still willing to entertain the possibility that Lee might be telling the truth.

[rahulkm]

That's where he met Steve Jenkins

[franz]

I remember David telling a truth about living his life by a code that required his appearance to be in no way noteworthy, yet here he is in a bright red shirt. That's pretty noteworthy imo

[brettjohnson]

He got it wrong, it was just turkey! It was just disgusting undercooked turkey!

[jietroraximoff]

It's funny how Lee manages to stretch that out. It's not enough to say "I said to the waitress 'what is this?' and she said 'it's dog'" and that's it. Noooo. Lee Mack is different. He has to go through a whole bit involving a friend acting as a translator and various bits being said in chinese. 😏😃😆

[ElZilchoYo]

It was a lie when he said a bed of rice, chinese food is always served with the rice separate.

[bladesinclair]

David Mitchell owned this clip. He's absolutely hilarious.

[andrewroberts]

Mitchell's smartened up his look since then

[mylesfrost]

0:30 thats clearly someone saying, "for fucks sake"

[seth]

Rice is served separately, with lots of side dishes.
It's not common for Chines restaurants to serve dog, but if you knew where to go, no doubt you could find it somewhere

[lydiadavies]

the presenter is so terrible, he looks miserable af and the rounds were always rushed. so glad for robert brydon :')

[tomekstec]

Lul the presenter acts like a teacher trying to get his class to move on from laughing because someone farted.

[OwlOfBlues]

did this air before or after that peep show episode where jez eats a dog? :`D

[XYGamer]

I bet it tasted like turkey.... with hairs on it :D :D :D

[Arian]

It is actually very rare to eat dog in China, and it is not something that they serve in regular restaurants

[Robert]

Obviously not true. Dog's not a delicacy; it's what poor people eat when they're desperate.

[zzzzzzzzzzz]

Is this where that Peep Show episode came from?

[redflamelcd]

If you think about it the whole premise is offensive or borderline racist.

[rocketraccoon]

Faye Ripley was quiet the fox back then.
