Chinese food

[Jess]

why do some people think that Chinese food consists of cat? I mean, I've never seen or eaten CAT in China or here.

I think only parts of China eat cat, but if I ever visit there, I would refuse to eat cat....ugh

I'm just saying, some people apparently hate Chinese food because they have roast cat? um it's not only roast cat. it's more than that, delicious food.

Besides, my mom doesn't kill cats and COOK them -_- sheesh

i thought they were dogs, nvr heard of thm eating cats..hmmm

[ShatteredWings]

wtf?
When i think of chinese food I think of the american-ified version

What I had said was meant solely as a joke, based off an old urban legend.

Apparently though, there is a basis to it: Snopes (http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/petition/bernard.asp)

American-ified chinese food should be called "Converted American Food". It really isn`t Chinese if not from China, but made by the Chinese.

Eating in china and eating chinese food in America are two differnt things, and roasted cat is from the phillipens

[persiandude]

[Fushigi]

oopppzz . have i REALLY read my dear country , Philippines? HAHA! Well, i must admit that our country can be considered a poor one yet I wanna contradict with that idea of yours. HAHA! We're not desperate enough to eat CAT :yes::yes:

I love chinese food.. and I doubt the restaurants put cat in their food. I'd imagine it's kinda expensive, seeing as cats arent kept in cages and bred for their meat on farms(as far as I know O_o).
*Glances at my cat* HIDE :'(

I've always heard it was dog.

[UnknownError]

I don't know about cats, but I heard that some parts of China and Korea eat dog.
And I'm 100% sure they don't serve it in Chinese restraunts in America or Britain. I mean, where in the US or GB would you buy dog meat?

[Jess]

okay maybe but definitely not where my parents are from.

Find a stray and kill it? Or just bread them for it?

On topic, I never came across it once in the two weeks I spent in China a few years ago. Also, as other people have said, Chinese food you get in the west is normally nothing like PROPER Chinese food. You can find the odd Chinese takeaway in the UK which keeps things pretty authentic but there's always that Western influence in most of it :(

[pinaychiq001]

well, it's not an issue if CATS will be eaten. Like other animals that is considered to be eaten like pig, chicken, cow .. uhmm, cats has meats too, right? However, i just consider them as Pet animals and not as a food :)

my cousin lives in china...and we asked her what she eats there and she said mainly chicken, rice, sometimes noodles, and veggies...never said anything about cats...or dogs...
here's a tip...dont eat something if you don't know what meat it is...like...just dont :P
oh...and btw..i love Chinese food...it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside :D
