Damon Albarn thinks he may have accidentally eaten dog and monkey while on tour

Don’t feel bad Damon! The same thing happened to my Dad while he was in Vietnam. He was in the Air Force - Strategic, Arms and Munitions (no longer exists). He was stationed at Utapao and was in charge of loading/unloading ammunition and bombs, assembling and diffusing bombs, and moving Agent Orange.

Everyone was told NOT to eat it drink off base, but my Dad and a few of his buddies went out and found a little restaurant selling fried rice and burgers. They had the burgers and loved them! They all got sick and had to go see the doctor. It turned out they had eaten dog burgers and had gotten parasites. Two of them were so sick that they had to be sent home.

Doctor: You ate off base, didn’t you?

Dad: Yeah…

Doctor: What did you eat?

Dad: A hamburger from this little restaurant in [can’t remember name of place]

Doctor: Yeah, so…you ate dog.

Dad: Oh…

Doctor: *awkward silence* So…?

Dad: It was a little stringy, but it was the best burger I ever tasted!
