On our last night in Beijing, we finally made it to the night market downtown, where one can find the craziest foods imaginable, all skewered and ready to be boiled in oil. There's crickets, snake, starfish, and even dog. I chose a mixed bag of chicken hearts, lamb kidneys, big fat bugs, and scorpions. While that ordering may seem to reflect the strangeness of the food, it actually ranks the food from worst to best for me.
The scorpion was absolutely delicious: crunchy, salty, and even a little sweet. For those of you who love fried shrimp heads, such as at Japanese restaurants, it was much like that.
