Useful Advice We've Been Recently Given, But Probably Won't Use

Once you've been quoted a semi-exorbitant price for the pleasure of picking a poisonous snake for the restaurant to kill and cook for you, be aware that the price quoted was not the whole price, but per kilo.

But they do throw you a bone and weigh it only after they've decapitated it, bled it into a shot glass for you to drink the blood, and cut out its gallbladder -- which, when eaten, will increase your virility.

...snake's blood and gallbladder? I'll bet Starbucks is going to cash in on this opportunity in no time. What better way to start your morning in China than with a frozen hemocha frappacino and a gallbladder muffin???

I've now just put this together with the previous post to figure out that you guys didn't get the poisonous snake. I am very dissappointed.

Although it's probably for the best you avoided the mongoose-like things- I think those are where SARS comes from... civet?
