It's Christmas! Have some more flocking bat meat, or rat meat or pig soaked in blood!
Christmas Day is seen as a foreign, Western festival in many countries in Asia but that doesn't stop millions of people from cooking up banquets of local food unheard of in the West.
In Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country which also has a substantial Christian community, Christmas feasts include delicacies such as pork soaked in blood and dog meat.
In the eastern island of Sulawesi, some Manado Christians swear by kawok, or garden rats, cooked with chilies and garlic, and paniki, or bats, cooked in coconut milk.
"Bat meat tastes almost the same as garden rat but it has more muscles," said Manadonese Stephen Lapian. "But if you cut the arm pit in a wrong way, it will be very stinky."
Mmmmm, decisions, decisions. Do I want dog butt or bat armpit? No wonder KFC is such a hit in Japan!
