       From: translated by Yang Hsien-yi and Gladys Yang
       Dàn ‘lónghǔdòu’ yòu shì shénme ne? Yǒu rén shuō shì shé hé māo, shì Guǎngdōng de guìzhòng cài, fēi dà yànhuì bù chī de. Dàn wǒ zài Jiāngsū fànguǎn de càidān shàng jiù jiàn guò zhè míngmù, Jiāngsū rén sìhū bù chī shé hé māo, kǒngpà jiù rú shéi suǒ shuō, shì wā hé shànyú le. [Pinyin]
       I must have them eating 'Dragon and Tiger.' But what is that exactly? Some people say it's made of snakes and cats, and is an upper-class Cantonese dish, only eaten at big feasts. I've seen the name on the menu in a Kiangsu restaurant; still, Kiangsu people aren't supposed to eat snakes or cats, so it must be made, as someone else said, of frogs and eels.
