A bit of snake?

We see snakes as frightening and underhanded. However, Chinese people cook it and eat it with enchantment.

You can find snakes, as dogs, in any restaurants. In winter, you will find it in the form of stew as they say it keeps you warm (like dogs) and has aphrodisiac virtues.

You will have to choose the one you will eat while it is still alive. And before starting eating your meal you will need to do the two glasses ceremonial, which can be fast (or not) and disgusting: a red glass and a green one, one full of bile and the other full of snake’s blood. You won’t be able to start eating before drinking all of that!!

Everything is eatable in snake!!!

You can eat any part in any kind of way: You can make chips from its skin; you can fry it or make a soup of it… mmmmmm…
You can also find it in pharmacies: It relieves you of rheumatisms and, more surprisingly, of malaria crisis.
For older people, snake is used also used as protector against the Devil spirit and as Viagra.
