Chinese restaurant's "Tiger Meat" actually donkey meat in tiger urine
A restaurant in northeastern China that advertised illegal tiger meat dishes was found instead to be selling donkey flesh marinated in tiger urine, a newspaper reported Thursday.It's the marinade that makes the flavor. The Hufulou restaurant, located beside the Heidaohezi tiger reserve near the city of Hailin, had advertised stir-fried tiger meat with chilies for $98 as well as liquor flavored with tiger bone for $74 a bottle, the China Daily reported. The sale of tiger parts is illegal in China and officers shut down the restaurant, only to be told by owner, Ma Shikun, that the meat was actually that of donkeys, flavored with tiger urine to give the dish a "special" tang, the newspaper said. The report didn't say how the urine was obtained. And I don't want to know. Authorities confiscated the restaurant's profits and fined Ma $296 it said. Well, they are communists. It wasn't clear what Ma was fined for. Selling donkey meat is not illegal in China and it is widely consumed in the northeast. Um, this is kind of "out there," but maybe perhaps selling food soaked in piss is a health violation? You know, maybe Mucky has a point... Posted by: MSM 2005-09-08 |
