A flippant remark made on the spur of the moment.
I did not realise they were from China. There was no link anyway or mention of China at that time. The capital letters were accidental not intentional.
But the Chinese do eat almost anything. There is a saying that if it has 4 legs and its back is to the sun it will be eaten.
But in my experience, Chinese gastronomy goes beyond that to cockroaches, monkeys and other stuff. There is another saying that only dogs lungs and something else are not eaten.There is something called the Shanghai Hairy Crab which is a delicacy.
Some years ago a shipload of Chinese refugees were turfed out in Northern Western Australia by human traffickers in a desolate area. They survived for weeks eating everything that came by. Their bush cooking skills were first rate. :notworthy Eventually one walked into a cattle station in good health.
I believe if the Alien in the movie of that name climbed aboard a Chinese space craft it would have been a goner as they would have had it in a stir fry in no time and raised the eggs for consumption.
I love Chinese home cooking especially crabs - this is what I do to them. Pepper crabs in a wok - olive oil, crab, butter and cracked black pepper. Yum.
Try out a mitten crab this way. Might be good!
For a second I wondered what the hell you were on about..
