Many may have heard of people eating weird things in China. What they haven't heard is that part of the reason for this is that people here endured many periods of starvation, one of which was one of the biggest holocausts of the twentieth century: the Great Chinese Famine in which at least 15 million people died. When bureaucratic oversight and crop production failed to meet the needs of the people, they began to eat everything they could up to and including other people.
We did not eat human meat (to the best of our knowledge), but we did get a chance to consume another legendary component of the Chinese starvation cuisine:
I fed this dog my leftovers.
It's the circle of life.
Twice boiled.
And chewy. There's not much flavor, so they give you a bowl of fresh mint and chillies to dip it in.
