A recent outbreak in China of a new strand of coronavirus may be linked to an objectively disgusting Chinese delicacy called bat soup, according to reports. Video footage online shows an entire cooked, dead bat sitting in soup. Scientists believe that the virus, which has killed 17 and infected over 640 people, could have spread from snakes or bats. Is this bat soup the cause of the quickly-spreading virus?

Because (IF it is the bats) the bats have previously not been carriers. Fleas were the carriers of bubonic plague but fleas of course existed before and after the bubonic plague pandemics.
I think you can take them back to the retailer and swap them for Campbell’s kangaroo tail soup.
But viruses are killed by heat. This virus anyway.
Still the harvesting and preparation.
I think the author needs some basic grammar skills judging from the headline.
Has any FReeper tried this, or know how it tastes? We don’t know any Asians to ask and our local PF Chang restaurant might be insulted.
What’s in those cans in the background? Carbonated dog piss?
Ya could heat up a bat for 100 years in a blast furnace and I’m still not chowing down on it.
Half of our populace is Bat S#!t crazy...

How so? Not defending it, just curious as to what might be wrong.
Some mighty good sauces out there...
The revenge of the bats!
Yea! It tastes like pangolin but spicier.
“Fleas were the carriers of bubonic plague but fleas of course existed before and after the bubonic plague pandemics.”
I’m guessing a “secret experimental government lab” wasn’t responsible for that one :)
Pretty sure Dual Survival partner Cody Lundin would draw the line. He already warned of going into a bat habitat.
What China and the Chinese doing something diffusing how unusual this culture makes the Nazis look humane. Truly a sick civilization it’s like game of thrones but more boring and brutal with less hope. Hey China the modern world did just fine without you. As it turns out plastic China is dispensable
Bat soup tastes like ordinary rat soup unless you chase it with carbonated dog piss.
The Chinese have been eating it for centuries.
I would say the author needs some basic grammar skills judging by his degree being in journalism.
No worse than some of the, um, things I’ve seen Alaska Natives eat. How about some fermented walrus flipper, “stinkhead” (fermented salmon heads), and wash it all down with a tall glass of warm seal oil. Yum!
