I had Japanese Sushi last night and Vietnamese the other.

However I love Chinese food.

Just not Chicken and Duck feet.

That is fucking weird man....

I have a Vietnamese friend who is 40 but looks about 20.
When I asked what his secret of eternal youth was he said he eats raw ducks blood

Does he waddle like a platypus?

Mmmmm.

Dericious!

I know there is at least one East-African tribe who bleed their cattle. Cows are expensive, so they avoid slaughtering them when they don't have to.
BTW, I was raised on black pudding, served with cowberry jam. I used to love it, before I decided to became a vegetarian at 14 y/o.

I just remembered the weirdest, most cruel dish that I know of. It is Chinese.
It was a documentary on TV of a cooking competition in China. There were actually a quite large amount of chefs, all competing in cooking the same dish. The weird part was the dish: a deep-fried live fish. The objective was to deep-fry the tail tender, but to keep the head out of the oil, so that the fish was still gasping for air on the plate.
There are videos of the dish on Youtube if you want to see. (age-restricted)

Are you sure the plants you eat are dead before they are fired?

Or even dead before you eat them?

It is even worse. Most of the stuff I eat are made from the unborn babies of plants.

Grown out of dirt and shit.

We specialize in overweight butch vegans where I live.

Tiết canh.

How canh you tell?

tiết canh vịt if the link above can be trusted (which I am skeptical of since it is Wikipedia written probably by an east Indian high school student.)

I know Walt Disney doesn't like the Chinese very much after going through extensive legal trouble to halt the sales of "Lovely Rat" products at the Bejing Olympics in '08:

Doubt it's the Chinese rather than anyone selling products that just happen to be identical to Steamboat Willie / Mickey Mouse...

Most people don't hate the Chinese, but the ones we come in contact with most are either the ones that have moved here and tourists. The former is usually well adjusted but latter group is most of the time not used to going abroad and does a lot of things that the locals cannot appreciate. Combine that with a lack of knowledge of foreign languages and it can be difficult to tell them thet should not be doing something.
Then again it is a problem that was there when the Japanese and the Taiwanese started traveling abroad and look how they have adapted in just 20 years.

The one thing I guess Chinese are infamous for is their reaction to people outside of their social group.
Gawking at people that look different (lets say a 1.92m white guy with curls) and not even flinching when you look them straight in the eye. In the past few years I have been to Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai and Taiwan and in all but one place I got the feeling people were doing their best to make me feel welcome.
Sure Taiwanese think you look strange, but they will politely approach you if you let them because they are curious.
In Hong Kong a mother told her child not to point because she thought it was rude.
While I was in Shanghai I did not get that feeling. Most were either uninterested or annoyed that they had to deal with you. Maybe it is different when you go further inland. I hated the bureaucracy of that airport. I still would love to follow the old silk route.

So in short, I don't hate the Chinese but they do need to get used to coming in contact with foreign people. Given enough time they will probably learn.
