Forget eating the dog. Keep him around for lots of other chores, and he'll take care of the leftover pork bones besides.
Hey, those Philistines don't sound like such bad folk! Got any recipes?
Nope, no recipes. As for the Philistines not sounding bad, fido know about that. Of course, they underwent a transformation from the time near the Conquest by Joshua (they dominated Israel for 40 years, something like that, rolling around on iron chariots, I forget) to the time they were wiped out by Assyrians and later Nebuchadnezzar. The early Israelite monarchy struggled with Philistia; Solomon was a major diplomatic thinker and (in modern parlance) diplomatically isolated the Philistine city-states, which by that time were past their prime. As Roger Henry pointed out, the late “Philistine” pottery is basically indistinguishable from that of Greece, suggesting they made none of their own, or had become culturally or ethnically Greek, or at least had Greek states as their main trading partners.
