Picky, picky, picky.... Fox or dog, what’s the difference? Besides, lots of Chinese dishes feature mixed meats.

Oh, so it was SUPPOSED to be there... ah... that changes everything.

So, now, WHY is donkey meat OK and fox meat not OK?

That is a very good question.

Maybe it wasn’t on the label?

heh

Meanwhile for those missing their donkey parts they can always pick up some live turtles for soup later. (don’t doubt me on that one)

It took me a few minutes to figure out it was an overseas Walmart; not here in the USA!

I never saw 5 Spice meat; fresh, canned or frozen. I mean, where would you go in a US Walmart (or any store) to find donkey meat?

Not a walmart shopper. What aisles do you find the donkey meat in? The fox meat? I can see I am missing out.
