Eating things part 2
January 21st, 2010 | Published in China - Life
A contest….guess what I ate for dinner tonight…
You get three hints:
Hint #1: Here's the fully prepared dish, bottom left. It tasted a bit like jerky, due to the seasoning.
Yeah, so hint #1 is impenetrable, I know. But wait, there’s more…
Hint #2: Season, dried, and about to be quartered. Viewing this beheading was a kind of twisted revenge for me, having lived with the suckers for some 3-odd months.
If that doesn’t do it for you, I think hint number three will…
Hint #3: Yep, that is the hintquarters of a mouse being lopped off. I ate with relish. These mice were raised to be eaten, so don't get freaked out and think I am in China eating sewer rats, here...
On a mostly unrealted note, we also captured the bat that has been living in my air conditioner since I moved in. I have some pretty gruesome pics of the bat being offed as well, but so as not to provoke the PETA gods, I will forebear to post those tonight…
To pre-empt any possible rat/mouse strikes this evening, I have re-set my rat traps in the bathroom (I found some little rat poop in there today, the first rat evidence I have found in about two months), the kind that kill on impact, so as far as my means go they are as humane as possible, and I (regretfully) am hoping to find some more cold, dead rat corpses in my apartment in the morn.
T-minus 12 days until the solo trip to Hong Kong. Wish me luck.
Hope you all are well.
