On this visit, the restaurant sneakily sold the stuff to us. And what's more, Cantonese people's ideas about their diet have really changed a lot. A lot of people think that eating game is illegal, inhumane and unhealthy. It's not at all like in the past, where people blindly assumed that eating game was very nutritious.
