I guess they have once suffered from true life threatening starvation, the kind of starvation that literally fucks with your mind and strips you of all humanity and turns you into a literal feral animal that wants one thing and one thing only: survival. Yes, humans have been starved to the point of resembling feral animals that resort to cannibalism and would cook and eat their own children. Look up the Holodomor, the starvation of millions of Ukranians by Stalin. Society crumbled and people literally ate the dead, sometimes they didn't even wait for other people to die. It's very easy for us westerners to judge the diet of other cultures since we have had the privilege of never ever coming at all close to being extremely hungry, let alone starving. We don't know how it feels to consider eating our own family members.

All of Serpentza's videos are dedicated to denigrating and minimizing China, its country, its economy, and even its people. He has exposed many malpractices, corruption, and other major flaws and faults in their system, their economy, bureaucracy, etc. I don't doubt the veracity of many or most of his claims given his extensive experience living and working in China, however I've never seen one of his videos praising China for any its many major accomplishments or achievements. China was a dirt poor impoverished country back as far as 1950 or 1960 that nobody gave a fuck about, during the era of Deng Xiaoping and his economic reforms that opened the Chinese economy up the rest of the world, and then subsequently China became the world's manufacturing base and factory, China has experienced the most rapid economic growth of any country in history, it is so great that it has raised 850 million out of poverty, that doesn't mean these people are rich or even well off by western standards, but it does mean they eat 3 times a day, have access to basic medical care, housing and education. This is unprecedented in human history that such a large amount of people could raised out of poverty. China has grown to such an extent that it is now competing in many (if not most) areas of science, technology, etc. with the world's superpower America, they have expanded their economic reach to most of the world, their belt and road initiative aims to connect their economy and modernize infrastructure abroad on an unprecedented scale and are tackling infrastructure projects on a scale that even the world most developed countries cannot compete with, given where China has come from in such a short time period, surely these achievements are worthy of some praise like the acknowledgment that maybe China is doing something right despite its many flaws and faults, but you won't find any honest analysis like that in this guys videos, he just spends his time mocking China. He regularly praises the West, its system of democracy, and its liberal values, e.g. human rights, freedom of expression etc. I'm not trying to deny that these are great things that deserve to be cherished and preserved, however I would like to suggest that maybe he isn't so educated on the history of Western colonialism/imperialism, and the damage, destruction, and death it has wrought on the rest of the world, i.e. those colonized and enslaved nations of the world which we commonly refer to as the third world or global South. Most people think Western colonization ended around the time of WW2, this couldn't be further from the truth, we have lived in an American dominated world since the end of WW2, America essentially inherited the British empire when the the UK could no longer sustain it, even during the cold war the USSR was never anywhere near as powerful as America, and didn't have the allies America did (i.e. the former colonial countries with an interest in maintaining the status quo), America has pursued its project of global hegemony with more ruthlessness and violence than any other country in the past century, and still does to this day. Since 1945, the US has tried to overthrow more than 50 governments, many of them democratically elected; grossly interfered in elections in 30 countries; bombed the civilian populations of 30 countries; used chemical and biological weapons; and has assassinated many foreign leaders, most recently Qassim Soleimani of Iran. In many cases Britain as well as other EU nations have been collaborators. The degree of human suffering, let alone criminality, is little acknowledged in the west, despite the presence of the world's most advanced communications and nominally most free journalism. America is not the free bastion of liberal democracy it claims itself to be, maybe it was a few decades ago but that time is past, it is now a desperate empires trying to reverse the increasing trend towards multipolarity in the world, and is largely led by blood thirsty neo conservative war mongers, and its internal system at this stage it is best described as a corrupt plutocracy where anyone with independent political opinions to the mainstream parties is sidelined and allowed no where near power (e.g. Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders were both prevented from be able to run as president despite their massive popularity), America is ruled by the deep state and serves big business and corporate interests to the detriment of its own population, the problems in America are so vast I will just stop writing about them because they are too numerous and complex to do any justice to. Do you think maybe Serpentza who seems to love western culture despite its horrific history of colonialism, imperialism, and the plunder and rape of most the worlds people and resources that continues to this day despite all the pronouncements about humans rights, and democracy, etc., do you think he'll ever criticize the American led West? I strongly doubt doubt, it seems his ideological predispositions are hardwired, maybe he is just angry that Nelson Mandela's ANC party managed to overthrow the disgusting Apartheid regime that ruled over South Africa with an Iron fist for so long, which might have forced him to leave his home country, just a thought

Actually you hit the jackpot when it comes to stinky tofu but you'll be relieved that it wasn't poop. For the most part most stinky tofu uses the same brine. The brine smells worse than poop. The Taiwanese normally brines firm tofu cubes for a day and it's deep fried. It's very subtle and smells and tastes a lot of really a good Italian reggiano. Cantonese versions vary but normally it's a softer tofu, much bigger and deep fried till it soaks up a lot of the oil. The smell is pungent when afar, pleasing when up close and delicious with hot and hoisin sauce. Shanghai stinky tofu is a different animal because the sauce is made with the brine. It's very similar to both Cantonese and Taiwanese in that they're cubed but instead of firm they use a softer tofu like the Cantonese. After the deep fry, it's then stir fried with whatever house sauce plus some brine. It's that fucking brine that takes Shanghai stinky tofu to the next level because it's not fried off. Instead that strong brine is incorporated in the sauce causing a stink like no other stinky tofu. There's a Shanghai restaurant I frequent in flushing NY. They have that tofu and not a lot of people order it. My family eats any stinky tofu but they never touch this one. I'm the only one that loves that sweet, spicy, vinegary, shit stinky sauce. I'll be the first to admit that I couldn't swallow it the first time too. I brought it home in a sealed container and ate it the next day cold when it was a bit less strong. I was hooked. The last year I went to the restaurant easily 50 times. I've seen no one order it except myself.

He regularly praises the West, its system of democracy, and its liberal values, e.g. human rights, freedom of expression etc. I'm not trying to deny that these are great things that deserve to be cherished and preserved, however I would like to suggest that maybe he isn't so educated on the history of Western colonialism/imperialism, and the damage, destruction, and death it has wrought on the rest of the world, i.e. those colonized and enslaved nations of the world which we commonly refer to as the third world or global South. Most people think Western colonization ended around the time of WW2, this couldn't be further from the truth, we have lived in an American dominated world since the end of WW2, America essentially inherited the British empire when the the UK could no longer sustain it, even during the cold war the USSR was never anywhere near as powerful as America, and didn't have the allies America did (i.e. the former colonial countries with an interest in maintaining the status quo), America has pursued its project of global hegemony with more ruthlessness and violence than any other country in the past century, and still does to this day. Since 1945, the US has tried to overthrow more than 50 governments, many of them democratically elected; grossly interfered in elections in 30 countries; bombed the civilian populations of 30 countries; used chemical and biological weapons; and has assassinated many foreign leaders, most recently Qassim Soleimani of Iran. In many cases Britain as well as other EU nations have been collaborators. The degree of human suffering, let alone criminality, is little acknowledged in the west, despite the presence of the world's most advanced communications and nominally most free journalism. America is not the free bastion of liberal democracy it claims itself to be, maybe it was a few decades ago but that time is past, it is now a desperate empires trying to reverse the increasing trend towards multipolarity in the world, and is largely led by blood thirsty neo conservative war mongers, and its internal system at this stage it is best described as a corrupt plutocracy where anyone with independent political opinions to the mainstream parties is sidelined and allowed no where near power (e.g. Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders were both prevented from be able to run as president despite their massive popularity), America is ruled by the deep state and serves big business and corporate interests to the detriment of its own population, the problems in America are so vast I will just stop writing about them because they are too numerous and complex to do any justice to. Do you think maybe Serpentza who seems to love western culture despite its horrific history of colonialism, imperialism, and the plunder and rape of most the worlds people and resources that continues to this day despite all the pronouncements about humans rights, and democracy, etc., do you think he'll ever criticize the American led West? I strongly doubt doubt, it seems his ideological predispositions are hardwired, maybe he is just angry that Nelson Mandela's ANC party managed to overthrow the disgusting Apartheid regime that ruled over South Africa with an Iron fist for so long, which might have forced him to leave his home country, just a thought

Ah, about the cat meat... a number of years ago in my city a Chinese buffet place was closed down as they were serving (undisclosed) cat meat. A number of pets had gone messing that year. Not making this up.

Several years ago (my 1st trip to China) I was at a market in Nanning but it was more like a flea market. I saw a cage with about 20 cute little puppies and took a pic. Back in the US I showed the pic to friends and family and jokingly said "people buy them let them grow up and then eat". Maybe I wasn't wrong.

Lab tests showed they contained 99% human flesh. The human flesh traders were using aborted fetuses and placenta. There are many reports of powdered human fetus being used as TCM within mainland China as well. There has been documented cannibalism in mainland China since the communist revolution. People were eating human organs during Mao's famines. Cannibalism was also used as a form of terror against non communists. After executing their political rivals, these depraved communists would eat their organs, etc.. It wasn't the norm, of course, but this is documented to have happened during the communist revolution/ cultural revolution.

Torturing pets (namely dogs and cats) for food is exactly why the students were punished for creating cute, innocent, adorable paper dogs and cats, treating the paper figures like real pets; the older Chinese and members of CCP want to remove any ounce of compassion and mercy and love the youth has for pets, because with a huge population, the CCP intends to revert back to dog and cat consumption; I hope the youth rise up against the cruelty and wickedness of the elderly and CCP members of government, and the youth create a more compassionate society, in balance with nature; in fact I hope the youth of the world unite for a more peaceful and harmonious world, full of compassion for animals.

I'm a bug for history, and I remember reading that when British soldiers reached the Emperor's Summer Palace at the end of one of the Opium Wars they discovered that the Chinese elite ate baby mice, which were called "honey peepers" in the text. I suspected at that time the poor things were eaten alive, which you have confirmed for me.

In areas with a relatively large Mexican or Central American population whole pig heads are often sold, sometimes smoked , sort of like a ham that got the wrong part of the pig.

Remember when Zhu Yu did the human baby/fetus dish stunt? I actually believed that until recently.....

I was extremely lucky in China when it came to food and drinks. I was there for 15 years and I got sick only once or twice from the food. And not crazy sick, like hospitalization, just a few hours worth of toilet time. This was pretty rare as most foreigners I knew could get violently sick quite often. I may have to attribute this to my Chinese wife as she has always been very careful and sensitive to food. That being said, I wasn't very safe with what I ate and tried many new things. I guess it just hits some people harder than others.

Bought the video box set, great videos, in fact the price was worth it for the first episode alone. The look on C-milks face priceless!

All those dishes should be posted on the menu under the category "famine dishes" because most if not all were created through the generations by people out of desperation, where every single part of the animal had to be consumed . And once the domestic animals were gone , they pretty much ate anything that was moving , Dishes and recipes were created , and if the famine lasted long periods , they made up mythical cures attributed to the consumption of the more unpalatable creatures . Why they are eating them now is an indication that these famines lasted so long that some of these dishes became comfort food for some of the older generation.

Ands that’s why there are no birds.
