Amadeus Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Mmm, rodents! China feasts on longtail infestation Tired of fast food? Well, now you can travel to China and try some "pest food." As the country suffers from a plague of a reported 2 billion longtails displaced by a flooded lake, many of the creepy creatures are being trucked from central China to the booming south to end up in fancy restaurant dishes, Chinese media reported. Longtails had been doing a roaring trade thanks to strong supply over the last two weeks, the China News Service quoted vendors as saying. "Recently there have been a lot of longtails... Guangzhou people are rich and like to eat exotic things, so business is very good," it quoted a vendor as saying, referring to the capital of Guangdong province, where people are reputed to eat anything that moves. Reckon' a branch of KFC KFL would take off here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon' a branch of KFC KFL would take off here? Possibly ! but it would probably stand a better chance of success with government backing.! A little bit of rebranding would be needed I think ? some thing along the lines of "look forward to going black" or suchlike ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
