I don’t judge them. When in Rome...
It is a little bit arbitrary which animals we are completely comfortable raising for slaughter, and which we would get thrown into prison for killing. Are pigs much less intelligent than cats? And if intelligence is the threshold metric, where is the line drawn?
I don’t care if this is their culture. It’s barbaric. Eat fish and chicken instead. HORRIBLE!
I generally order spicy fried squid; I do not order the chicken chow mein.
Meat is meat, as long as they were vegetarian cats.
*My best Chinese imprssion* “You like feline Kung Pao?”
Go veggie!
I don't find the idea of eating cat appealing and I don't want my kung pao chicken to meow at me, but on the other hand I certainly don't want other people telling me not to eat pork.
And my friends with pet rabbits don't like me calling one Hasen and the other one Pfeffer.
Another kitty ping...
My son is from Changsha.
Eat too much cat and run the risk of Cat Scratch Fever.
The real news in this story is that there actually are Chinese who care.
I had no idea.
Well... we have a dictator that is fond of puppy chow main..I had inquired of the waitress what kind of meat was in the Pancit Bihon I had eaten.I thought it was pork and conmsidered it very flavorful and tender.My waitress said it was dog,(with a big smile on her face),but I figured she was kidding and told her so.She told me to wait a minute and went off through the swinging doors to the kitchen.
Within a minute or so she opened a door and beckoned to me to come into the kitchen...luckily I remembered that the Filipino "Come here" sign looks a lot like the US "bye,bye" sign.
Anyway I followed her into the kitchen where one of the cooks showed how he prepared all the little puppy dogs that were hanging on hooks over the stove.
It obviously was an equal opportunity kitchen because there were cats being prepared also,for the Shanghai Lumpia I was told.
I was also informed that the rule of thumb was "New dog,old cat.",because old dogs were too tough and stringy,while new cats were too pungent and gamy.
I haven't been to Olongapo in many,many years,but if the B-29 Restaurant is still there you can check it out for yourself...it's the building with the nose section of a B-29 sticking out of the second story.
I judge them.
