Restaurant in Xi'an, China sells food that does not appeal to me

“Fish Head Casserole.” “Nurtritious Beef Penis in Pot.” “Nutritious Young Pigeon Casserole.” If a gun were held to my head, I’d order the pigeon, but I’d rather take my changes with the Hai San Xian Casserole.

Reader comment: M Otis Beard says: “I live in China… ‘Hai San Xian Casserole’ is made with shitty Chinese sausage (you don’t want to go there), pig’s organs (heart, tongue, possibly kidney), assorted vegetables, and occasionally some (tiny tiny dehydrated, not fresh) shrimp.

“The pigeon really isn’t all that bad.

“What is MUCH MUCH WORSE is the practice of oil reclamation in Chinese restaurants. If you order a bunch of dishes (which is typically how Chinese people eat) but don’t eat everything, your leavings will usually end up in a big bucket, which is later collected by a worker. Your leftovers either go to make pig swill, or (far too often) the uneaten food has the oil extracted from it, and this oil is then sold to restaurants at a much cheaper price than good fresh store-bought oil goes for. Not every restaurant does this, but it isn’t at all uncommon.”
