Recycling stuff from January.
I’m guessing rabies doesn’t exist there?
Boiling them alive is moral?
News to me.
Boil them alive? As they die, they defecate and urinate in the soup. Cruel and disgusting.
Scientists do not know why their immune system functions as it does.
Waiter, there’s a bat in my soup.
(Somebody had to say it, okay?)
Anybody of genius talent out there able to PhotoShop Nancy Pelosi into the bowl?
An English language recipe? I smell a hoax. One problem has been pointed out by another Freeper; placing them alive in the soup means they piss and crap in it on the way out. Another problem is the fact that you generally need to blanch meats for a few minutes to remove gamey aromas. That goes double for wild game.
Three bats and your out.
As gross and disgusting eating bats and those markets in general are, I’m still not convinced this virus started this way. These people have been living like this for many moons. I’m sure they get some food poisoning, but I’ll bet they are used to this kind of horrible food. Heck, if this is where it started, why isn’t it happening all the time?
Wait... there are still people who really believe that this all started with a bowl of bat soup, and not in the giant Wuhan bio-weapons lab????
I guess I’m missing something. What about this would anyone find attractive? Tantalizing? And why do they not have domesticated animals like chickens, hogs, and cows? ...Just confused..
This is my (very tasty) recipe, modified from an ordinary soup recipe that used bacon, but only because fresh bat is so hard to find:
Ingredients
4 small, live bats
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 stalk celery finely diced
1 carrot finely diced
1/2 yellow onion finely diced
2 cloves garlic minced or pressed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken broth
1 (12 oz) bottle Corona beer
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese cubed and softened to room temperature
1 (8 oz) block sharp cheddar cheese shredded
1 (8 oz) block pepper jack cheese shredded
Air fryer pretzel bites for serving
How to make Bat-Corona-cheese soup:
Cook live bats in a large stockpot - simmer slowly for an hour, just as you would with tough beef stew meat. Remove, and dice.
In the same stockpot, melt butter.
Stir in celery, carrot, onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook until the veggies are very soft.
Slowly whisk in flour and cook for about 2 minutes.
Slowly whisk in chicken broth, corona beer, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.
Simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and SLOWLY stir in the cheeses: cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and pepper-jack cheese.
Pour soup into a high powered blender and blend until velvety smooth. You could also use an immersion blender, but it won’t be quite as smooth.
Stir in bat bits and serve with air fryer pretzel bites!
Enjoy (try not to cough up a lung if you get hit by the occasional bat soup side effects)!
