Culinary Arts to Take a Hit in Southern China

The term "wild game" conjures up images of buffalo, elk, ostrich, antelope, boar, etc. Not so in southern China where the Chinese will eat ANYTHING that moves.

"According to Guangdong Provincial Industrial and Commercial Administration, it will conduct a comprehensive check in restaurants for wild animals, particularly to ban those "underground" game food restaurants. From now on, no restaurants will be allowed to put "game food" on their signboards.

The check will be focused on rats, hamsters, civet cats and pangolins, which are common on the recipes of many wild animal restaurants in Guangdong
."
This is a pangolin in case you were wondering.
