What's really in chinese food? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

GARFIELDKOOL · 06-29-2006, 06:58 PM

I am not a big chinese food eater, I have to be in the mood for it. When I eat it, I usually get sesame chciken, ribs(what kind?), and fried rice. A while back, I saw a bio on the Discovery Channel about how they boil cats, and serve them in chinese restaurants. There would be a boiling pot of hot water, and they would have these dead cats lined up next to the pots. They would take these poles, pick up the dead cat, and put it in the water. I had my suspiscions anyway. I'm not discouraging anyone from eating it, I'm just posting what I saw. I kind of figured the ribs were from another animal, because the ribs are way too lean. Pork ribs aren't that lean, and I know how pork smells, and that is not pork. Lord knows what else is being served in chinese restaurants. But, I will say the ribs are good.

o_O

probably a rumor though.

Chinese food....hmmmm, I always figured CHINESE would be in it...

really? the discovery channel? what show was this one? I love this channel, I must have missed it. I know they always have some weird food documentary on some of the channels...like the one where people eat small octopus ALIVE...but they have to be real careful or die from choking when the tentacles hold on to the side of your throat.

You really don't want to know what the fortune cookies are made out of either...

This show was on a few months ago. I happened to catch it by accident. I wish I could tell you the name of the show. I thought about it the other day, when I had some chinese food for lunch.

Believe it or not, Irene, I like canned octopus. Up here, you can get it out of the convience store. It tastes good with crackers.

Canned octopus and LIVE OCTOPUS are waaaaay different. Seeing the people twirl the octopus like it was spaghetti on a chopstick and seeing the octopus trying to move and squirm around as the patrons dipped them in some red hot sauce and attempting to chew on them...it was very difficult for them to chew when it was squirming around and trying everything to avoid being eaten...

It's probably just part of the culture. In Vietnam they eat dogs. I know that because I've been there.

Ireneparalegal · 06-29-2006, 10:31 PM

Ribs are deeeeeelicious! so is Beef and Broccoli...sweet and sour pork...Damn!!! Kool, I am hungry now...take me to eat chinese food!!!!!!

JNSBSB · 06-29-2006, 10:40 PM

I'm not sure if this is rumor or not, but I've heard that in China that cannibalism is becomming common, due to forced population control. And the bad thing about it is that the people there don't even know that they're eating their own baby children at the restaurants.

I hope it's just rumor in that country.

And regarding serving cats and dogs in chinese restaurants, they don't do it here in the US, especially in the big fancy chinese restaurants/buffets, do they?

Who knows what in food at certain restaurants, they could be using anything
