Today, at lunch, I noticed something that made me pause with my tofu-laden chopsticks midair. This realization was actually quite startling to me and managed to occupy my thoughts for the rest of the meal.
I realized that the dining room has not served bat wings in a long time.
What does this mean? Are bats seasonal? Are bat-catchers or bat-breeders on strike? Are bat nutrients really only needed in fall? Has there been a recent scare of "mad bat"? Was I - yet again - a victim of mistranslation?
Have I spent the last four months thinking I'd been eating bat wings when it's only been cabbage?!
Quelle horreur.

You have ate, well you think you have, Bat Wings?!?!
Thats weirdly cool... but what do they taste like?
They fly, so maybe chicken? They eat fruit (or blood bwa haha) so maybe sweet? Though, they are also rat-like, so maybe roadkill? lol jk... but I never even knew people ate bat wings! I guess they are highly populated, so it wouldn't be a bad thing.. but... weiirddd......
Just don't eat shark fin soup, or doulphin... cause that's just mean... *sigh*
Nat, when you get back home maybe you could harvest Bat Wings at the Ecological park when no one is looking. Love your Blog, especially your attitude to the trials and tribulations of life in a foreign country
Mmmmm! Bat Wings! Sure go good with Beer.
haha when i was little and asked my dad what's for dinner his answer was always bat wings...i didn't think ppl actually ate them though...
