I had not been to this restaurant but I was at one in the southern part of China. I only had the deer.

I know you will keep pulling my leg with this, so we might as well have fun doing it.

The cultural belief is that this is good for you and gives you extra powers, there is a medicinal quality to it.

I also think those of you who think you like Chinese food will not look upon your kung-po quite the same way ever again. I have to say that the only food in China that is anything like what we get here labeled as Chinese food is sweet and sour pork. Everything else is a little bit different.

But let us also remember that in our western culture we are very big on eating rotten milk products. The Chinese consider that pretty disgusting.
 
When I was in New Zealand I visited a Deer (Red I think) farm where thaey raised them and harvested the antlers. Three harvests every two years. As for the other parts no comment here.
 
:hairraise:

I don't think so! But Scott... knock yourself out!

I'll stick to bratwursts. :)

Chinese food served in India is different than what we have here and probably different than China. The use the Indian spices, especially the little green chillies.

This statement reminds me of the food Network equity ad with the mopane worms.
 
I don't care for cottage cheese or yogurt but there was nothing not disgusting about their options in that footage. I applaud the reporter's decision in the end.
 
FOR CLARIFICATION, I HEARD IT TASTES LIKE CHICKEN, I AIN'T ATE NUTHIN!

Perhaps next time I'll look at the video before I write some smart comment! lol

Bite your tire iron! I'm dang picky about what I eat.

BTW, Scott was way down there on posts when I first came onboard. He had to fight hard to stay ahead of me.
 
What kind of cockamamie place is that?!

Sorry, someone had to say it.

It gave me the power to close a multi-million dollar deal with the Chinese, get a nice bonus and later a good promotion. Along with eating in that restaurant there must be lots of drinking to prove your worth. Chinese business cutoms are a little weird.

I did learn a neat trick at the dinners and that was to pick up the ugliest most disgusting thing eat and proclaim how much you love it. Then they tend to leave you alone the rest of the meal to enjoy yourself and go pick on another person. Usually I picked up the chicken or duck feet. They looked gross but just tasted like chicken skin.

In fact most of the gross stuff had no real flavor to begin with. I had a soup with catepillers in it. They tasted like erasers. The sea slugs taste like a piece of plastic. Snake and the snake gallbladder had almsot no flavor of their own and instead tasted like the alcohol they were put in. I ended up liking duck toungue. The jellyfish salad had no flavor whatsoever to me, so I just pretended to be eating that plastic licorise stuff whatj I had it. The chinese also happen to like chile sauce and there is usually some at the table and it will kill any flavor in favor of it own spicyness.

The Chinese eat many of the Mcnuggets of the animal and when they see how westerner reacted to unusal food they are going to use it to measure your worthiness. I learned to get even with many of them by taking them to places that served fancy cheeses.

But the weirdest meal I ever had in China was a chicken based one. What was strange about it was how they aquired the chicken. There was this resturant near Tianjin where you went in had a few drinks and then they gave you a gun. It was a .22 cal rifle and your walked out to the range and shot at chickens. Live chickens. When you hit one they grabbed the chicken and then went and cooked it for you to eat.

Not a lot of challenge shooting at chickens but the Chinese I was with thought it great fun and were amazed that I could shoot so well. I guess they were easily impressed.

Heck, just grab the chicken by the head, snap it like a whip and you have one dead chicken. Clean it and cook it. At least, that's what we did one morning in the field at ROTC summer camp. The guys who had only seen chicken wrapped in cellophane in the store had a problem. Those of us with years of bird hunting experience had the best breakfast of the 6 week camp. Had to show them what to do with the potatoes, however. Boy Scout training came in handy. :yes:
