Visitors to Beijing zoo are warned not to feed the animals, but they are encouraged to eat them at a restaurant that offers crocodile and scorpion on its exotic menu.
After watching the beasts in their cages, diners at the zoo’s restaurant can gnaw on the webbed toes of a hippopotamus, chew a kangaroo tail, nibble a deer’s penis or slurp down a bowl of ant soup.
That’s from a Guardian story about what’s on the menu at the zoo. They’re big animal eaters over there when they can get the good stuff. Criticism is forcing some changes. The zoo’s animal cages have included information about which parts were the tastiest and most useful according to traditional Chinese medicine, but those details have now been removed.
