old'un Posted August 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Perhaps we could sell them a few pigeons? Mind you the Chinese will eat almost anything, so there’s no end to what we could sell them as a delicacy, a few crows or squirrels maybe?

Not sure if we can sell squirrels definitely can’t sell crows although it’s a good idea 😊😊 could work a few smooth tailed squirrels in to make the numbers up 🤭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife (who's Thai) eats, among 'other delicacies', chickens feet (boiled and curried /spiced) and chickens heads (deep fried). I've also seen some Thai folk preparing what i thought was a piglet, by burning the hairs off it over a fire. Turns out it was a Pangolin, a type of anteater! There could be a market in Thailand for British game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading about pangolin today, doesnt look great.https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/pangolins-in-pictures.html I remember in Hong Kong, street vendors were quick frying chicken feet and punters were eating them as they waited for the cinema to open. Im sure there is a huge market in China for game meat but the impression i got they like their food still kicking shortly before/during consumption Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sha Bu Le Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Have eaten dog in China, bit of an acquired taste. Also live prawns, quite funny when your fighting with your food. Drew the line at frog, not the small frogs legs you get in France but a great big bullfrog of some sort. They don't just eat the legs but the whole lot. Frogs are sitting outside in a mesh bag until invited to supper. My host swore if you ate one a week you would keep all of your hair for ever. Saw him a year before I retired......bald as a cout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
