The things the Chinese eat would make a billy goat puke ...

A normal person might resort to eating bats and bugs only
if he or she were trying to ward off starvation. Personally
I'd rather get my harp and angel wings rather than eat the
unappetizing looking fare offered for sale at these Chinese markets.

Weird foods are often the result of an acquired taste of necessity in times of famine. As many Chinese as there always seems to be I can believe food was in short supply repeatedly.

Ever watch an Icelander eat a piece of rotted shark?

No, can't say I have.
Watched "Plan nine from outer space" though,
probably about the same.

The one time I saw it....

I dark grey gelatinous lump is served, about the size of a large can of tuna. The diner carefully carves away the dark grey stuff until lo! There is a pink section in the middle, about the size of a golf ball. That's the "good" part.

I can only imagine eating it began as starving nordics walking the shore looking for anything that washed up.

One of my former coworkers had served in Vietnam. While passing through one of the chink cities he said the vendors were selling skinned dogs, cats and most anything that had ever crawled. One person was boiling nutria rats. He said the odor alone was enough to make you throw up.

the greeks have something similar IIRC,



I worked with one guy that went to hong kong on vacation, he said he passed thru what he thought was a market for pets, but was instead basically an open air butcher shop
every creature imaginable in a cage, live, ready to be kilt and ate,

Modern Chinese culture is a veneer of advanced, technological, sophistication overlaying their fundamental barbarism.

Here is the Chinese equivalent of Emeril Legasse or Bobby Flay at work.
