I too am a lover of Chinese food, but I have never heard anything about them eating snakes,cats, or dogs. I know people have been known to eat snakes, in some parts of the world its considered a treat.

I'm a Chinese, but I never eat such kind of things. And I'm sure, most of us do not enjoy eating these things.

I am a Chinese. I can tell you that eating snakes, dogs, cats etc. are absolutely unusual in my country. So it is impossible to say we "enjoy" eating these kinds of foods. Actually it's not easy to find such a restaurant to offer these foods. We are like most people and enjoy eating beef, port, fish and seafood.

You are definitely right. Chinese people like to eat others kind meat instead of ordinary meat. They believe that eating others kind of meat will improve their stamina and also body strength. Somehow, no every Chinese people in china will enjoy this kind of food. Only minority is eating.

Hi there. I watched a program on national geographic, about the different foods availiable and loved in china, and this ranged from rat to other animals, personally, I would not think twice about eating myself... But in some countries this is there delicacy and they love it...
