Whoa. That’s intense.
I was just bringing up this lovely practice to my girlfriend. It’s popular in Korea too.
goddamn, those chinese snakes look delicious!
skinned, sliced, dipped in hot oil… what a way to go. it’s like dinner at vlad the impaler’s
In China they’d just roll the tanks over those silly protesters in front of Lark. And then eat them.
Stuff like this serves as a reminder that PETA really is wasting its time trying to guilt Americans into veganism. Here’s real animal brutality, you bastards! Go try and pull that Sea Kittens business in China and see how far you get.
Okay, that was seriously gross. thanks for ruining my lunchbreak.
I used to work at an east coast place that chopped open live lobsters, tore their pulsing guts out and stuffed the abdominal cavity with breading before baking them, still feebly twitching.
that was not easy to watch
Photoshop.
And I was wondering what to have for dinner.
@10-lol!

thank you kelly o for cluing us in with a content description so i’d know not to watch!
A cuisine developed over thousands of years, millions of deaths due to starvation, and over a billion people struggling to feed itself helps to make eating, eating anything, live, dead or in between a means to an end. That end being survival.
Americans have NEVER known any such hardship and hence look at this with revoltion. Grow up.
@14 well man shit. if your choice is a $10 still living fish verus a $2 slab of tofu, what is your choice?
Im SO fucking SICK of hearing about foie gras on this site this week!
