Let me think...Hah, there's a dish that I don't think is that strange, but that a lot of people can't imagine. Have you eaten drunken shrimp? It's a famous Shanghainese dish. You bathe living, jumping shrimp in kaoliang grain liquor, and eat them when they're drunk. I've always thought it was heavenly, but talking about it this way, I feel it's a little weird.
