Jun 2 2009Mmmm: Poisonous Snake-Bitten Chicken
Apparently poisonous snake-bitten chicken is a popular dish in a parts of China, but it's coming under the heat for being cruel and unusual deliciousness.
Chinese health authorities are putting a stop to restaurants serving chickens which have been bitten to death by poisonous snakes and cooked up for a supposedly detoxing meal.
The dish, served by a small number of eateries in the southern province of Guangdong and the southwestern city of Chongqing, has generated a storm of publicity and controversy in the Chinese media and amongst bloggers.
Wow, that's pretty effed up. Like eating dried tiger penis just so you can pop a boner -- but with even more snake. HIYO!

Thanks to Ken, who once bit a poisonous snake's head off and sucked the venom out just for the hell of it.

That doesn't seem like it would add anything... and if it was undercooked it also seems like that could be dangerous. Let em eat it! Thin out that ever growning uber-herd!

SNAKES ARE NOT POISONOUS THEY ARE VENOMOUS! BIG BIG DIFFERENCE!

Hey if you ingest poison OR venom dependeing on breed, you can still have minor to severe rections. Partner that with poor preperation and whatever chicken they're grabbing from where ever it was roaming around makes for a risky mix in my opinion. If you're down with eating that then more power to you sir...

we used to get chicken from a farm that fed the chickens things like silantro and basil and parsley making the meat flavored on slaughter

you can ingest snake venom, theres a vid of it on youtube. Its if it it gets in your bloodstrem directly is when you start to have problems

Somehow this reminds me of an old, Soviet-era Russian joke: two dead chickens are sitting in a Russian butcher shop window, waiting for somebody to buy them. One of them is from Germany, the other is from Russia. The German chicken says: "Look at you! You're all blue, and skinny, and wrinkly! Who ever would wanna eat you? I'm pink, and fat, and delicious. Everybody is going to want to buy me, not you!"
Says the Russian chicken: "So what? Get this: You got killed. I, on the other hand, died of natural causes."

Chicken...the most dangerous game.

Like I said it depends on the breed of snakes they're using... I would hope they're using a hemotoxin but not all venoms require entry to the blood stream to do damage. Many can do damage to any mucosal membrane they come into contact with... I.E. yer mouth. Outside of that if they do use a hemotoxin then you better not go in there with a canker sore... lol

That chicken looks pissed & I would be too if I was going to die from a snakebite before being fed to someone.
Ingesting venom actually has no side effect & does not harm you, @3 is absolutely correct. Why someone would want to eat venom rich chicken is beyond me though. It's detoxing elements!? Just drink a bottle of red wine

Hmm.....I'd proberly have a go at munching on that snake-poisoned chicken.
It can't be any worse then the McChicken Burger i had last week. *BARF*

I've got a new kind I want try. It's called "Penis Colada". Sounds promising.
28. Rhialto - June 2, 2009 3:02 PM
Mmm,chicken that's protein rich meat.Maybe the poison makes the meat more tender?
29. Quik - June 2, 2009 3:27 PM
@4 - you forgot to put an "e" in front of "rections"
@6 - ha ha
@9 - Really? Quoting "youtube" as a medical guide?
@23 - What are you... Seinfeld?
30. AdamG - June 2, 2009 3:32 PM
Dinner and a show! Is there anything the Chinese don't find medicinal/detoxing?
31. /Eyeroll - June 2, 2009 3:38 PM
@29 - Your put the wrong vowel on the wrong side. However if somebody that ate this dish ended up dying from a lethal preapism I would be shocked, intrigued and intensely amused LOL
