But yeah. ‘Assorted Meats’ is an unappetizing phrase.
The ‘assorted meats’ in your photo look like pretty standard Chinese seafood. I see shrimp, squid, sea cucumber, and potentially some duck and pork (tho’ not seafood).
There used to be an Indian Restaurant in the town that I went to university that was famous amongst the student population for two reasons:
1) The sign in their window that read “We have ample food”
2) Their insistence that the meat they served was chicken, when it came in a vast variety of different textures and colours (and the town had a high squirrel population…)
Yeah, better don’t go to restaurants at all. Let’s not get paranoid: either you trust the restaurant or not.
