Why would a chinese restaurant keep snakes?!


Question: there is this chinese restaurant around the area where i live and i heard a rumor that they keplt snakes in a room somewhere in the restaurant and i was wondering WHY (if they do) they keep snakes? do they us them as a omen of good luck or do they add it to all the food that they cook? they have been open for a long time but in the past few months they have relocated to where they are now and i am sure the if a health inspector knew about he would have to close the place down right?

There are restaurants in China, see article below. Maybe the restaurant in your town does the same.

Snake Restaurant

It is located in Jianglan Street of Guangzhou. Its predecessor was "Snake King Man", founded in Guangzhou by Mr. Wu Man, It specialized in the purchase of snakes for medical factories or making Chinese medicine by using snake gall.

It is mainly engaged in snake dishes, snake galls, snake drinks and concurrently engaged in games and seafood in Cantonese style.

The special dish is Chrysanthemum Dragon-Tiger-Phoenix Soup, etc.

Keep away the rats.

They cook them. Or maybe they have them eat the rodents and then cook them. Just like how they feed pigeons here in New York. They want to fatten them up so they can cook them later and call it a "chicken" wing.

cats too

just simply go in and ask them. Is their food good? Have you had it yet? I seriously doubt that a long existing restaurant has pet snakes! No one with that much to lose (because owning a restaurant takes a lot of work) would jeopardize the place by keeping snakes there. Isn't it possible its a rumor? Maybe started by kids or even the competition.

They eat them ... or their blood. Go figure.

My MY a judgmental question with rumor (I heard)..
First SO what!!
What does superstition have to do with food..??
Do you Think a Fine Restaurant uses frozen Lobsters..??
I don't think so they are live in a large salt water aquariums..
There is nothing wrong keeping live food on hand Including clams scollop's crawdads etc..
You seem Ignorant of the Health Law ..
The Health Dept (FDA) License must be posted along with the Business License..
Inspection reports must also be available for the public.

Grow Up you no longer live with cowboys..
And your neighbors have many new customs..

The chinese eat anything, things that are dead or alive. But dont knock it till youve tried it as they may be real TASTY!!!

Why is there a fish tank in a restaurant ? Why do some people like hairless rats ? Because, its their money and they buy and own what they like.
