It is not uncommon to hear that the Chinese eat strange things, and they are often suspected of not necessarily serving you the meat they claim to have cooked for you. Well, that is the case with lamb.
If you want to buy lamb and you see that it comes from China, abstain. In 2013, police arrested 900 Chinese who tried to pass off rats as lamb. They found 20,000 pounds of rotten rat meat. You don’t want to eat that!
