TC4 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Well, I'm sure someone thinks this is good eating, just not me :puke: http://www.breitbart.com/news/2005/09/08/D8CG43A01.html Chinese Eatery Sold Donkey In Tiger Urine Sep 08 9:50 AM US/Eastern SHANGHAI, China A restaurant in northeastern China that advertised illegal tiger meat dishes was found instead to be selling donkey flesh _ marinated in tiger urine, a newspaper reported Thursday. The Hufulou restaurant, located beside the Heidaohezi tiger reserve near the city of Hailin, had advertised stir-fried tiger meat with chilies for $98as well as liquor flavored with tiger bone for $74 a bottle, the China Daily reported. Raw meat was priced at $864 per kilogram. The sale of tiger parts is illegal in China and officers shut down the restaurant, only to be told by owner, Ma Shikun, that the meat was actually that of donkeys, flavored with tiger urine to give the dish a "special" tang, the newspaper said. The report didn't say how the urine was obtained. Authorities confiscated the restaurant's profits and fined Ma $296 it said. It wasn't clear what Ma was fined for. Selling donkey meat is not illegal in China and it is widely consumed in the northeast. Ma had initially claimed that the meat came from dead tigers sold to him by the management of the Heidaohezi reserve, but later changed his story, the report said. While Heidaohezi's director denied that claim, the reserve, with about 150 tigers, has been involved in similar controversies in the past. Until China outlawed the trade in 1993, the reserve received most of its revenue from the sale of tiger skins, bones and other body parts, which are believed by Chinese to imbue vigor and sexual prowess.

Riggo-toni Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Hmm. Reminds me of the movie The Freshman, where they spiced up turkey, and sold it as an endangered species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chomerics Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Try going to Japan and ordering food, you never know what you'll get. One trip, I ordered what i thought was spaghetti with maranara sauce. . . It wasn't marinara, but fish roe and cod liver :puke: :puke: Asian cusine is completely different from American cusine, it is rather disgusting to me, but it is a hell of a lot more healthy then American. Now Tiger piss? I'm not suprised, hell they sell ground up tiger penis for thousands on the black market as an aphrodesiac :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, Asian cuisine is crazy. My cousin was in China over the summer and he brought back a picture of himself eating a fried scorpion. :puke: But I must disagree with you regarding Japanese food. I lived over there for a long time... and their food is surprisingly simple. Mostly pork and noodles and rice... pretty vanilla. Some of the more gourmet Japanese food is crazy though... i.e. sushi which is really more of a delicacy over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
