The Chinese eat certain types of foods that seem strange and offensive to many people, as they are forbidden by their religion or cultural practices. Some of these foods include boiled dogs, grilled crocodiles, fried snakes, guinea pig brains, stewed frogs and roasted lizards. These foods are consumed for a number of reasons best known to them. Some of the Chinese argue that these strange foods cure the infertility in men, increases sexual libido, and cure fatigue and fever. The Chinese diet also stresses emphasis on taking tea before every meal. However, these peculiar diets are not only served in expensive hotels but also in domestic homes (Liu, 118). Their eating dates back to traditional days in the country’s history. Therefore, this essay will try to explain the strangeness or weirdness of the Chinese foods. The Chinese eat certain weird body parts such as the chicken’s heart and liver. Most of these body parts are often eaten during memorable occasions.

The Chinese also believe that eating snakes cures certain types of sicknesses. However, in order to act as a cure, the snake must be prepared using ginger and drunk after some time.

Green frogs are dipped into a drink or meal, meant for an alcoholic individual. The Chinese have a number of frog meals, which include frog soup, omelet made of frog legs, stewed frog legs and fried frog legs.
