Thanks HHji.
That reminds me of something that I had intended to ask on Vegetarian thread long time back, but desisted.
In Mahabharata, I have seen one tale of viSwamitra performing the act of eating a dead dog (under pressing circumstances, and after offering to pitRas and devas), after a lengthy debate with a chAnDala who was persuading him not to do such a lowly act. This tale remained a mystery to me. What is its signficance?
