China has to have the biggest variety of food in all the world, there´s a saying in China: We eat everything with legs except Chairs and Tables. And that’s probably not far from the truth.

I eat everything, but for obvious reason will I not post photos of dogs in the market.
Unfurtnetly so have I also had Shark Fin soup, but to my defence so was that a big mistake. I ordered a 6-course meal in a fancy restaurant on new years eve, and the shark fin soup was one of the courses.

I absolutely don’t support eating Shark Fin soup. It´s fu**ing disgusting and horrible what the humankind is doing there.

I did also try FUGU while I was in Japan.
Here´s just a short list of some of the strange and less appetizing things you can eat while you’re visiting China.

1. Chilly Rabbit Head.

Actually pretty normal in Chengdu, Sichuan Province..   4/10. Not much meat on the head and extremely greasy.
