Fetus Soup (disturbing images)

[Jenn]

Comment: A town in Canton is now on trend taking baby herbal soup to increase health and sexual performance/stamina. The cost in China currency = approx $4000. A factory manager was interviewed and he testified that it is effective because he is a frequent customer. It is a delicacy whereby expensive herbs are added to boil the baby with chicken meat for 8 hours boiling/steaming.

He pointed to his second wife next to him, who is 19 (he is 62), and testified that they have sex everyday. After waiting for a couple of weeks, he took this reporter to the restaurant when he was informed by restaurant Manager that the spare rib soup (local code for baby soup) was now available.

This time, it was a couple who have 2 daughters and this 3rd one was confirmed to be a daughter again. So the couple aborted the baby which was 5 months old. Those babies close to be born and die naturally costs 2000 in China currency. Those aborted ones cost a few hundreds in China Currency. Those couples who did not want to sell dead babies, placentas can be accepted also for couple of hundreds.

The reporter making comment that is this the problem arise from Chinese being taking too much attention in health or is the backfire when China introduced one child in a family policy (since majority prefers to have male babies and those poorer families need ended up selling their female babies.)

I believe this is a resurgence of the images posted about in this thread from the old board. It's been asked about several times over the last few weeks.

As soon as I saw the first couple of pics I recalled this being on the boards several years back.

That is NOT how you make fetus soup. You chop the meat and put it into dumplings and serve it in a light broth with soy.

And, no, I didn't learn this from work. I learned it from the first segment of Three...Extremes.

C'mon Ryda, everyone knows what you bring to office picnics!

No. I bring fetal ribs. Soup is not a picnic food.

You two OMANK.

The images are pretty gross. I wonder about where they come from.

In the book Stiff the author talks about food supposedly made from recently deceased corpses. She couldn't find any really solid confirmation though.

Have you seen the full-length version?
I'm sorry to say that my response to that film was... to get extremely peckish. And make some dumplings.

I didn't know there was one! Interesting.

I liked the other two segments better than the first, though.

Mmmm, dumplings.

How many dishes of meat are served with the head of the animal still intact? Besides fish, I mean.

edit: The head looks like a doll head to me.

It might uncommon in North America nowadays, but I think many smaller animals used to be cooked and served with the head intact. Duck (and other fowl) and pig would probably be pretty popularly known.

My first thought was "Andrew Zimmern would try it & then declare it wonderful with a nice crunchy texture."

My second thought was "I wonder which FX house they used to make the babies for them?"

Third thought "How long before this is Obama's fault?"

The same basic story, just expanded to full film-length. (And possibly slightly less unpleasant, according to Wiki- I have not yet seen Three... Extremes. My to-watch list is huge.)

Lots of lovingly-detailed shots of tasy dumplings being prepared.
