Snakes in China

     I grew up in the rural village where snakes are killed because they are dangerous to humans. But in China, they eat them.

     In one of my business trips in the past to Guangzhou, we had to eat as prodded by our Chinese colleagues. It is a simple delicacy to them.

     I didn't like the idea of eating it but I had to so as not to offend my Chinese colleagues. It was hard for me to stomach but I had to bite two pieces of the cooked snake dish and pretended it passed my standard.
