Colored chickens anyone… (3 comments)
Wandering through markets is one of my favorite things to do when I first arrive in a foreign town or city. There always seems to be something completely bizarre to see. In the city of Houludao previously known as Jinxi I came across colored chicks.
What I want to know is, are they taken home for pets or to be cooked up like that colored popcorn you can buy at the circus.
Why would you say that you might ask. Because here in China they eat everything, or at least every part of the animal.
Every part of a chicken or a duck can be bought and BBQed on a skewer. Dave had what we think were hearts of a Duck. Nice and chewy.
Katie opted for a more familiar bite to eat of grilled corn on the cob.
Those chicks are so cute! But poor them! I don’t even want to know why people buy them, although I giggled at the popcorn comment. Being asian myself and despite our food being the yummiest (I am not bias at all lol), I think sometimes we go overboard with the experiments and the cruelty to animals. But who am I to judge.. Keep up the hard work!
I feel a bit bad for the green ones…I mean, really now…they’re just poultry social outcasts.
what you think is chicken hearts -vs- what you KNOW is corn on the cob. Im with Tibbs on this one. Enjoy Beijing!
