Sexually Inexperienced Chicken

Yeap, that is what a pullet (a young hen less than a year old) appears on some restaurant menus in China, according to this New York Times article.  In preparation for the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing, the Chinese authorities are trying to clean up some local bad habits like public spitting, no sense of lining up or queuing and really bad English translations on signs and restaurant menus.  I have been to Beijing, the first time in the hot summer month of July in 2005 and the frigid cold winter in December the same year.  I have personally witnessed the above-mentioned “bad habits”, including a few additional ones like this and that.  But nothing beats what i found in my Fuzhou hotel room last June.
