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"??

I just read a History book, and it says that China had suffered many many famines, due to massive floodings of the Yangtze River, Droughts, negligence by the Emperors of old, etc.

This probably explains why the Chinese had learnt to eat so many varieties of animals. Why one's family is dying from starvation, why choices does one have ? To survive, you can't be too choosy

We are lucky to live in Land of Plenty

Let us thank the good Lord for this

And let us have a little compassion for the less fortunate of this Planet. AMEN
