To:User:Kuebie: It seems that you don't have the proper understanding of Korean food culture.
1) The article does not have a "dairy" section because Koreans have had pretty much no history of consuming dairy products. The only related record says some kings in Chosun dynasty enjoyed milk porridge as delicacy. Dairy products started to become popular among common people only after 1900s. Compare that to the history and popularity of dog meat.
2) Why is dog meat highlighted/included in the article? It is not because dog is four-legged animal and considered taboo, but dog meat has been an important foodstuff with long history and cultural implication in korea. Why was "monk fish" as food not highlighted like? Because monk fish consumption has not been anywhere as popular and culturally important as dog meat consumption in Korea.  Let's go back to Petitt, although it is only one of many reliable sources. The book mentions dog in 15 times and contains a dog meat stew recipe, while there is no mention of monkfish.   16:19, 11
