Areeeee nahin yaar, the Chinese food we used to get back in Fiji was highly modified to suite the taste of the locals there. Same goes for the Chinese food we get anywhere else out of China today too. The authentic cuisine is far from the fried rice's and the chop suey's that we knew. I had never heard of or seen most of what's on the menu's here until I came here. And believe me it is really nice too, although it takes a bit of getting used to (especially the presentation part, where the chook although cooked, is still staring at you).
And as far the rumour goes about the other things they eat, take it that it is no rumour no more, it is true. The Cantonese (not so much the Northern Chinese) eat anything and everything. It is a wonder they haven't worked out a way to cook old cars yet.
......and "the kuli" (did not want to write the English equivalent, could get scolded by pet lovers) they say is good in winter, keeps you warm, not that I have tried
