  1. “This country is so good,the food it comes to you”
    Direct quite from an ancient immigrant to Canada from Vietnam,with an astonishing collection of pet collars on his kitchen windowsill.
    Funny how Chinese takeout chicken is always a much better texture than store chicken,with no obvious bird bones.

  2. I worked with a fellow some decades back that was from Holland. He fought with the Dutch underground and emmigrated to Canada following the war.
    He said that things were pretty tight prior to when the Germans marched into Holland and they knew that they were essentially powerless to object. All they could do was stand and watch.
    Bert and his family had 2 cats at the time. He said that those ‘Bastards’ took and ate the one of the cats. His parents decided to eat the other one for 2 reasons; number 1 – they were “Hungry”, and number 2 they “Chose to deprive the SOBs of the other one!”
    Some stuff sticks in one’s mind.

  3. L- “In February, following the coronavirus outbreak, China passed a law to ban the consumption of wild animals… ”

    It depends on how you define wild. I’m guessing their definition is something like: If it is in a cage, then it’s not wild.

  4. It’s a joke to even pretend that the ChiCom government can close down the Black Market in China.
    We’re just going to have to accept that we have to permanently distance ourselves from China for our own preservation.

      1. Your investments are circling the drain. Good. China has been spending spending spending on military buildup.
        The ChiComs have bad intentions for the technology and trade we have been giving them since U.S. President Nixon.

        1. ” technology and trade we have been giving them”

          “We” haven’t given “given” them anything. We exchanged goods at massive mutual benefit on an individual basis. Individuals trade not nations.

          And my investments are doing no worse than a lot of people. Better because I got cautious when Trump started going Full Retard on the trade wars. I am pretty decently positioned to make a bundle off this market bottom.

  5. Meaghan Duhamel, Canadian pairs figure skater, rescued a couple of dogs while she was at the Olympics and they now live happily in Canada. My cousin’s husband (a policeman whose job would have included checking the alleys behind the businesses on main street, which included five Chinese restaurants) refused to attend a 70th b’day party I had planned for my husband. He would have eaten at any other restaurant & pd for their meal, but didn’t join us for the Chinese meal. Now I can guess why. I still prefer to believe they added it to their own meals and not the customers but when I think of it now, the chicken in the chop suey did look a bit suspect.

  6. Send expert Chinese restaurant reviewer WK over to China to confirm no more cat…..
    Meow!

    1. I am not sure why anyone would say that they do not or have not eaten dogs because they have. They used to hang butchered dogs in meat markets just like lamb or beef.

  7. Them bug eatin mud frogs will eat goddamn anything, no matter the country they invade.

    1. C O…..the full joke is “ Cream of Sum Yung Guy”
      Let’s all go out for some Dog Sum now

      1. Ya, these are ancient jokes, I forgot that part completely.

        The only other one I can remember is Yung Poon Tang. Have forgotten the set-up line completely, though.

    1. I also remember the celebrity chef that cook book was attributed to. In case he has no sense of humour, I won’t name him.

  8. Cat would be red meat, wouldn’t it? I don’t think it could pass for chicken.

  9. Your guys! Chinese restaurants aren’t next to pet stores, They are next to veterinary clinics. I always had a rule. Order a steak in a small family owned Chinese restaurant. Chopped up meat is likely whatever hung around the back door.
