What’s so Bad About it?
Feng Gan Ji literally means “wind dried chicken,” which sounds like a new eco-hippy marketing campaign devised by the Colonel. To prepare this dish, you basically need four things: A chicken, a sharp knife, an exceptionally well skilled chef and a heart as black and cold as the most lifeless corners of outer space.
Wait, What?
Remember that scene in The Dark Knight where it turned out the Joker sewed a bomb inside his henchman’s stomach? Feng Gan Ji is quite similar to it, only instead of a bomb the chef uses marinade, spices, herbs and whatever culinary secret ingredients he might have picked up at the Lucifer Gastronomical University (located in the seventh circle of Hell). He does all that, aptly upstaging the Joker (which is a feat in itself), after cutting open the still-alive chicken, removing its intestines and sewing it back up. The chicken is then strung upside down to dry in the wind.
What? It can’t even be windy in that room. This chef must be new.
It Gets Worse:
The chickens usually enjoy a few agonizing seconds of consciousness after the ordeal, dangling on the string, clucking away in the wind, screaming "For the love of God, why are you doing this to us?! " as they are forced to see hundreds of their fellow chickens subjected to the same torture. And when the bird clucks its final “cluck” the last thing it will see will be its mangled and tortured brothers and sisters. Anyone else hungry?
Lucifer Gastronomical Unversity? :eek::eek:
