Exotic meat should cost much more than farm bred animals,isn't it? Farming livestock have economy of scale, whereas exotic meat is available only when some hunters happens to bag one

so, why would any Chinese restaurant serve you exotic meat when farm meat are so much cheaper

Eating exotic animals or other oddities is supposed to be some sort of sophistication, I guess. I read somewhere, it was a way to give 'merit to the elite'.

I guess we do it, in a way, when we savor live oysters on the half-shell, caviar, and raw meat. We've all heard of the delicacy of "unborn lamb"??
