I remember encountering a Chinese tour group in a Turkish hotel buffet. I tried to navigate my way through the line, but every time new pans came out, they would descend on the steam tables and pick them clean. It was a wonder any of the rest of us got anything to eat at all.
Interesting video. It's true that in the West, we tend to avoid exotic food such as insects out of fear or ignorance. A wise man once told me that all mushrooms are editable, at least once! 🙂
I think it must be very poor in ancient time. So, people try to eat anything. Ended up learning to survive. In bad times, people eating roots, tree skins, exchange their children to eat, eat died bodies....So nothing special.

I have to say that Americans and Middle Easterners, who often make ignorant comments, often forget that their beloved Europeans also have a long history of eating offal, a variety of flora and fauna, and preserved foods , as do many other cultures whose cuisine developed without industrialized agriculture. French can eat frogs, snails, blood sausage, blue fungus cheese, duck livers suffering from non alcholic fatty liver disease, calf's brains, etc., and it's wonderful, but when Chinese do it then "eww".

There are one billion of those people and they all have to be fed. They'll eat anything that moves.
Not hard to understand in a land of too many people they had to learn to eat anything to survive.

Personally, I wouldn't eat half the Chinese cuisine, but pretty much every civilisation eats things that are repugnant to another
I am Chinese American but there are certain Chinese dishes I will not eat because they taste terrible and not appetizing to me. 🇨🇳👎
