they eat silkworm larvae, snails, dogs, melamine, the works.
silkworm larvae is a natural byproduct of farming and producing silk... and in the post-war years (in Korea) it was one of the few sources of protein people could get.. dog was one of the few sources of animal protein people could get.
it always kind of annoys me how much of a bubble america is... many people take up ridiculous causes in the midst of their luxury to do so... where many places in the rest of the world there are 2 options when it comes to \\"strange\\" food:
1) eat it
2) or starve to death
of course in Korea the situation is not so desperate anymore, but the culinary habits remain.
