FOOD FANCIES
All through Central and Southern America fried squirrel is a. great delicacy. Many Chinese view with repugnance the idea of eating beef, though they will enjoy cat, which .must be strangled, and then thrown into boiling water to remove the fur. In Canton rats are sold at 4s a dozen, and are enjoyed roasted or stowed. There, too, the hindquarters of dogs are hung in the butcher’s shop alongside of mutton and lamb, and sold at a higher price. Ants are served in Brazil with a resinous sauce; in Africa, they are stewed with grease or butter. East Indians catch them in pits, carefully wash them, and cat them in handfuls, like raisins.
