I travel for many reasons. One of them is to experience other people’s cultures. Yes, there are always boundaries or lines one should not cross. I do not think that partaking in the consumption of an animal or its fluids is one of those. That is apparently where we differ. If I went to a country where they molest children, encourage bestiality, or other such practices, of course I would not partake. BUT, every culture inhumanely slaughters animals for consumption. The difference is that in the West it may be a pig or cow, but in the East it could be anything from a cobra to a dog!
Best.

yep!, hopefully one day we can, one and all, walk to the grocery store to get some humanely dispatched and cellophane wrapped cobra as well as dog. why not!
But more along as a delicacy of course and not as the primary source of animal flesh like pork and beef. who wouldn’t want to eat the foods of far off and exotic places just as long as the animals are humanely killed, right? having said that, there should be an international moratorium on how much cobra meat and dog meat shall be traded for the northamerican market. we’ll definitely draw the lines however on chimpanzees, mountain gorillas, extirpated species, sea turtles, tuna, crab, bla bla bla.
hey, anyone try horse meat ? it’s popular in some areas of montreal , it might be a ” French ” thing, dunno.
So yeah, anything is fair game . Mind you, it will be difficult to get people to try other cellophane wrapped animal flesh than what they’re already used to, like the author said , he’s just as grossed out as the next guy .

I lived in HK and traveled mainland China on a weekly basis. This is how it is.
Enjoy your summer vacation from Pussy University, Arlo!

That second video is in a little Taipei tourist market. I take the bus from there everyday. That so-called snake blood he’s drinking is basically watermelon juice.
Want to make a real shock video? Buy some betel nut and spit the juice up a hooker’s snatch.
