    ^ i think its nice too, the only reason id think people dislike it is cause its technically swallow spit -huh
     
  6. well... there is an old Chinese saying "whatever's back faces the sky is eatable" so i guess they'll eat anything that has it's back facing upwards when they r desperate... -sick2

    I figured that it's just a phrase meaning the chinese eats everything that grows under the sun because of poverty and curiosity.
