Sān Zhī

I met up with the usual bunch for lunch today and Adrian (just back from China) was telling us a story about a dish called "sān zhī" or "three squeaks" 
Before reading this, please note that this was a story and this was NOT what we had for lunch...
The reason why it is called “three squeaks” is due to the sound made when eating this dish. Apparently, the dish are newly born mice. 
Squeak 1: when the baby mouse is picked up with your chopsticks. 
Squeak 2: when the baby mouse is dipped into the sauce
Squeak 3: when the baby mouse is placed into your mouth...
What is wrong with the world!!!
