Ever been to a posh English seafood restaurant or just about ANY Mediterranean seafood restaurant and been the person who selects which lobster dies? I'm just wondering what the difference is.

I'm just wondering what the difference is. No difference really, apart from there really isn't a lot of blood with the lobster and you generally don't see it being put in the pot. In China, you watch them "despatch" the chicken, so that you're sure you are getting the one that you chose. It's a bit grim when the body is still twitching away minus its head. I'm not particularly squeemish, so it doesn't really bother me, it does some people though. I've even eaten a fish that's head was alive, but the rest of its body had been fried.... That was weird, tasty, but weird, as the fish was clearly still alive Edited August 18, 2019 by Sweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zurichwhite Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Crazy situation right now, 11th week in succession the protests are going on and they’ve tried every tactic. Even now at midnight on Sunday there’s 20,000 doing their bit. We had 2m marching at one point in protests which is 30% of the popn.

I'm not sure they will, they can't and won't be seen to do it, they'll happily just sit it out and keep it "contained" with the odd high profile person being "disappeared" every now and then, until eventually the protesters give up or become that scared that they dare not protest.

I suppose Chinese authorities won't want to make "martyrs" of the protestors, but at the same time won't tolerate any spread of these protests into the wider country. Tricky.

Tricky. 24 weeks I think it's been said its been going on for We're now up to police shooting protesters from short range and protestors setting fire to pro Beijing supporters Unless things escalate further from the authorities side I cant see the protestors backing down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
