LWKM! See What A Chinese Woman Served Her Daughter As Breakfast (Photo)
A woman from south-east China has caused a heated online debate after
posting a picture of her breakfast of braised mice, served up by her
mother.
The woman, who is a resident of Fuzhou in Fujian Province and simply
known as Miss Chen, said her mother insisted on her finishing a bowl of
mice that morning before she rushed to work.
She said her mother believed she was looking worn out
and the dish would help as it was 'highly nutritious', reported the
People's Daily Online. Miss Chen said at first she thought they were
braised rabbits. After realizing they were mice, she refused to eat, but
her mum pressured her to eat them all.
'My mum said it was a great effort to pluck out all the hair from these
mice,' said Miss Chen. 'She said it's hard work.' She ate all mice
reluctantly with her eyes shut, and she said she felt sick all morning.
Mice are one of the eight treasured delicacies in western Fujian, with
dried mice jerky being especially popular. Miss Chen said her family
believes one mouse is as notorious as three chickens. Residents in
Fuzhou also think that eating mice can help treat hair loss. Local
experts however warn against the consumption of rodents.
Lecturer Chen from the School of Life and Science at Fujian University
said the small mammal can be the carrier of more than a dozen of germs
and this might harm diners' health.
