“Just ate chicken feet for lunch.”These were the words I wrote on my blog yesterday.By the next day there were hundreds of comments from my friends.They ranged from “Oh my God!That is so disgusting!” to “What were they like?” to “Why can’t you eat sandwiches like everyone else?”
To Chinese people,chicken feet are a normal snack.To my friends in Britain,the thought of eating a chicken foot is — well,weird (古怪的).As weird,in fact,as eating a bullfrog,scorpion,snake,or turtle.
But if there are two things I love more than anything else in life,they are trying new things and food.
I arrived in Beijing five months ago.Since then,I’ve searched for the “weirdest” food so I can try it,and then treat my friends to some “virtual eating” on my blog.
One weekend,I went to Wangfujing,Beijing’s “snack street”.The trip gave me tons of blog material.
“I chose a stick with three live,wriggling scorpions on it,” I wrote.“And it was pretty good.The scorpion was warm and crispy.The legs did have a tendency to get stuck between one’s teeth,however.What’s more,I am sure scorpion number two stung me with its tail in revenge.”
Next came the snake:“A bit like a cross between fish and chicken,with a slightly rubbery texture and meaty taste.”
Some people were actually angry when I ate turtle soup — especially when I posted pictures showing the poor little guy’s head staring sadly up at us from the bowl.“I am never speaking to you again,”wrote one (former) friend.
