There have long been jokes about exactly what kind of meat appears
in some Chinese dishes, but here we have a new suggestion from the

Photo Caption: "Shuhui Chen, left, and Yi Cai get ready for a
dinner of University of Virginia students from China."

Oh, would that our resident UVA grad were here to comment.

Faulty reportage, I think.
No mention if Mandarin style or Southern-fried.
