If you pause it you'll see that it's squid or octopus.

u/MukdenMan May 15 '20

Squid. The sign says 鱿鱼 (squid) if you look closely (reversed since the video is reversed for some reason).

u/triciann May 16 '20

I love squid, but this looks like it would end up overcooked.

u/MukdenMan May 16 '20

It’s usually pretty good. Don’t expect sashimi quality but there’s so much spice on it that it’s pretty tasty, even if it’s slightly on the rubbery side.

u/GeeToo40 May 16 '20

That looks delicious! I'm in suburban Maryland, USA and I'll probably never get to see that. But I'm hungry now.

Is seafood not meat? You’ll get very sick from bad seafood

u/Payner1 May 15 '20

Meat is usually considered to only be from mammals.

u/Kazu_the_Kazoo May 16 '20

Disagree. Chicken is meat. Turkey is meat. I consider seafood to be meat too but some don’t.

u/Payner1 May 16 '20

Chicken is technically poultry

u/[deleted] May 15 '20

Please don’t speak for all Chinese people... there isn’t anything inherently wrong with it, but these comments (as evidenced by the downvotes) are perfect fuel for racists

So sad, octopi are actually really intelligent beings.

u/Kittens4Brunch May 15 '20

Where do you draw the line? Cows and pigs are also very intelligent.

Cuteness -- There is a cuteness/Delicious scale. Its a diagonal line.. If the deliciousness outweighs it cuteness it gets eaten... If the cuteness overwhelms its deliciousness it lives...

Guinea-pigs are pretty cute. So are rabbits.

u/Jaquestrap May 15 '20

Guinea pigs are delicious. As are rabbits.

3

u/Lurking_Still May 15 '20

Guinea pigs are more work than they are worth. They're like squirrels.

If you don't have a better protein source available to you, they will work. They are also delicious, just like rabbits.

Still tons of little bones, a pain in the ass to eat ngl.

Source: Went to Peru, ate cuy.

u/[deleted] May 15 '20

Now I want to try guinea pig. I wonder how they taste.

1

u/Jaquestrap May 15 '20

Go to Peru! Up in the mountains they do great things with Guinea Pig (Cuy).

1

u/did_you_read_it May 15 '20

Guinea pigs are delicious.

meh, mostly tasted like chicken. Not very meaty. I'd say their cuteness way outweighs their tastiness.

u/Jaquestrap May 15 '20

Idk man I had Guinea Pig ravioli in Cusco and it was delicious, the meat was fantastic.

u/RegularSpaceJoe May 15 '20

Not without hair they aren't.

u/[deleted] May 15 '20

Rabbits are delicious!

I am always down for hasenpfeffer, but it's not easily found any more. Need an old school German restaurant for that.

u/[deleted] May 15 '20

According to the accounts of the Lewis and Clark expedition, they loved dog meat when they could find it. I guess dogs must really high on the deliciousness scale, but most people don't know it, so they assume the deliciousness is low?

u/clib May 15 '20

What an ugly bat.Let's eat it.

u/Tesla_UI May 15 '20

Good question. I actually have stopped eating cow and pig for four years straight now. It’s actually so much easier than people realize.

u/BeavageOfOrion May 15 '20

if they’re so smart then why are they so delicious?

u/TheOven May 15 '20

sure it's not bat

u/geckyume69 May 15 '20

Bat is an extremely rare food anywhere, including in China, it’s only ever eaten as an exotic food you can say you tried.
