Do chinese people in china eat every things that walk crawl, fly include exotic & extinct insect / animals ?

Answer 1

Well with 1.3 billion mouths and lots of superstition and Chinese Traditional Medicine; I think you may be correct. I think everything that can walk, crawl, fly... and if I may add... swim, sliver and scurry has been eaten or drunken in a tea by a Chinese at one time or another. I have lived in China for a year and a half and beyond the touristy sea horses, silk worms and scorpions there are more bizarre things I have seen first hand on the streets here Tiger paw and live scorpions with syringes (I didn't stick around long enough to ask). I know students who's fathers love bear paw. As for extinct animals... you are right, some locals found dinosaur bones and cooked them up. (see the link)

Answer 2

How can you find an extinct animals to eat? dig up a fossil dinosaurs' egg and pan-fried with frozen Mammoth steak?

Despite what other people says, it is true many Asian countries have a very different diet including some rare animals, for example, Japanese hunt and eat whale, Korean eat dogs and south east Asia countries eat insects and snakes as well.

I don't think it is fair to project an unfair image of a whole country or civilisation on what only some of it's people do.
The truth is only in Southern China, particularly Guangdong, people has the culture of eating wild caught animals.
And in other part of China people do eat something which you may not agree but they see it as normal such as frogs, snakes and scorpions but not like monkeys or dogs etc.

Answer 3

They are the people who from time immemorial have known hunger,deprivation and what not.However being the tough,hardy and gritty survivors they are they have learnt in the hard school of life not to be choosy about what they eat but filling the tummy is of paramount importance.Then they went about making what they eat really tasty by devising a whole new style of culinary art which is found to titillate the palate of the most discerning gourmet no end.Thus was born the Chinese cuisine which has reached world eminence. The psychology of the Chinese is very simple.Never want for food under any circumstance which is the secret of survival first and culinary delicacy thereafter which too is non pareil today. Have a Nice Day.

Answer 4

I wouldn't say everything, that would be very difficult and not very tasty, plus to eat an extinct animal woud be impossible unless they had some kind of frozen supply of them...
They do eat some weird stuff though, Not just china but in much of that part oif the world, some common dishes include:

"Stinky" Tofu
Sea Cucumber
"Thousand-Year Old" Eggs
Bird’s Nest Soup

Answer 5

Maybe you mean Thailand? They eat a lot of fried insects and sold at stalls on the streets, especially at night time.
Worms, Crickets, Scorpions, Beetles, Bugs and even some Spiders.

Chinese like anything else that moves but not so much in the insect world according to my travels in Asia the last 16 years.

Many asian countries include dog in their diet, but most likely when men in the rural provinces get drunk and have no other means than killing the friendly neighboring dog for a grilled snack.

Others:
Philippines famous för Balut - Duck embryo in its egg.
China - Snake (rice) wine, snake stew.
Thailand - Insects.
Vietnam - Some snakes in rice wines.
Taiwan - Almost anything.

Answer 6

Dick. 1.) What's wrong with that (except, of course, how an extinct thing is eaten is pretty hard to grasp). 2.) Why be so picky about food? and, 3.) I would rather eat exotic foods than to send young people to die in a war that has no sense to it.

Answer 7

Now, just how would anyone eat an animal that is extinct?

Answer 8

No, Chinese don't eat extinct animals.
Did you see them eating giant panda?

Answer 9

Chinese joke about themselves on eating anything that flies except airplane, anything that has 4 legs except table. But it is only a joke, you shouldn't take it so seriously.

Answer 10

Dragon Eggs are delicious
