The World Economic Forum tests its new diet plan in China, promises to take it worldwide
/
A new take on the Chinese dish of stir-fry - involving rocks - has gone viral across social media, with some claiming it is 'delicious'.
The bizarre twist on the popular meal appears to have made a comeback in China, as people go to extreme efforts to cut costs during the cost-of-living crisis.
Named Suodiu - meaning to suck and discard - the dish has origins in ancient China.
Suodiu dates back centuries to the Hubei province in central China, where local fishermen would collect the rocks to eat when they ran out food. [T] he recipe for suodiu has re-emerged in recent videos on social media, with chefs preparing the stir-fried rocks at very high heats.
They then proceed to add spices and aromatics to the stones, including garlic and chilli.
Afterwards, the rocks are served with a mixture of vegetables once they have softened enough to safely eat. [WTF is in Chinese garlic and chili peppers that make them sunsafe to eat raw? Have chemical fertilizers run out and forced the farmers to return to using human excrement? —Ed]
“Of course”, WEF spokesman Bill Gates told FWIW, “under the New Order we’ve planned, the peasants won’t have fuel to heat their rocks, but they can still squash their meat source –crickets and mealworms — with them, and even cold, the pulp will stick to the rocks; with just a light dusting of dirt sprinkled on top, the mals will provide tasty sustenance and keep field workers going for days, even weeks before they wear out and have to be replaced.”
