Bugs on the Menu

No - never. I think it was cicadas I ate (deep fried at the roadside and very crispy).

I don’t remember seeing bats on any food stall (although they eat anything in south China). TBG may be the one to ask as most travelled poster on here.

It is said that the Chinese eat anything that has legs. Apart from tables, that is.

For my part, I was given the guest of honour treatment in being served the duck's feet when eating out in China with some contacts I have over there. It's not an honour I particularly appreciated.

some parts of China more-so than others.

not only the types of animal, but also the parts of the animal, duck tongues, fish eyes, ligaments, bone.

the west and probably especially the British are like babies gastronomically, eating our bland water filled chicken breast and at a push some farmed salmon
