Customer finds rat in Chinese restaurant's hotpot dish

A couple dining at a well-known hotpot chain in eastern China fish out what appears to be a rat from their pot of stewed meat and vegetables. Shares in the parent company of the restaurant, Xiabuxiabu Catering Management, plunged after the news of the unexpected discovery on 7 September began circulating on social media

The Guardian YouTube network:

You're telling me that hotpot usually *_doesn't_* include rat? My whole life has been a lie.

Yes, Chinese do eat rat. I bet that was a rat soup. In a matter of fact, food health inspection found a frozen rat and cat in a Chinese restaurant here in America. The restaurant got shut down. Since then never go to the Chinese restaurant.

Does the guardian blame the Russians or Donald Trump?

Relax, IT'S JUST CHINESE CHICKEN.

American: Excuse me sir, but there is rat in my soup?
Chinese chef: Oh you are lucker!

I would say if do go out to eat (though I would more so encourage cooking at home) chose golden corral, western sizzlins, and old country buffet instead of giving illegal human trafficking immigrants our hard-earned US currency that does not recycle in united state economy because they send the money back to there country all the while the US economy suffers.
