I have no problem with insectoids eating dogs or cats, but why the fuck do they have to torture them beforehand? It's fucking reprehensible.

What I remember as chinese food growing up as a young kid in Hong Kong

>turtle/shark fin soup
>fried chicken feet
>pig uterus noodles
>fried rice with pork knuckle gristle
>unidentifed fish balls on a stick
>boiled dog meat
>one time, monkey brains

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food. Like what kind of idiot decided 2 sticks is the most practical way to eat grains of fucking rice. Starving Nigerians who eat grass have a better diet than the average chinese.

Chinese food is any living thing you can find inside or outside your house. They eat everything. Surprised tree bark didn't catch on in popularity after the Great Leap Forward.

Bait but I'll bite.

USAians throw away most of the animal as meat is mainly muscle. Those "unsavory" parts are a delicacy.

Nothing is thrown away. Everything is used, some parts just don't go to human consumption.

I'm really only here to say the large eggplants at basic supermarkets are TRASH AND GARBAGE compared to Asian and South Asian eggplants. If you like eggplants, pick up a few and fry em with a garlic sauce. Delicious.
