I want a Crocodile with an orange shoved in its mouth
How much of this stuff would make it through customs?
Googling “ç²¾å½©é¼ å您” (for number 6) brings up this Japanese page, and Chrome’s built-in Google translate capability reveals that some of the Japanese commentators think it’s sausage, perhaps pork sausage. (The é¼ goes with the “2008″, with that year being the Chinese zodiac year of the rat).
No. 6 looks like some kind of 蹄 (hooves), quite popular in Chinese cuisine.
E.g. pigs’ trotters: http://image.baidu.com/i?tn=baiduimage&ct=201326592&cl=2&lm=-1&fr=&pv=&ic=0&z=0&se=1&word=%D6%ED%CC%E3%D7%D3&s=0&oq=%D6%ED%CC%E3&f=3&rsp=0
Those pig masks are so much cooler than our edible wax lips.

16. ummmm…
I have been to a Walmart in Tianjin. That store seemed very tame. My wife and I are both mystified by the crocodiles. I’ve seen crabs like that in a supermarket in China but it wasn’t Walmart. I think the poster of the pictures is mostly surprised by the meat products stacked up without refrigeration would be my guess and yes it would surprise me to see that in a modern style supermarket in China.
I can verify most of those items in Chinese Walmarts. However, I have never seen crocodiles in any supermarkets…(is it legal?)
by the way, the frog is actually bullfrog, which is feed by people, and I thought it was first introduced to China from EU. And the turtles is from freshwater instead of the sea…
16. dong zhu?
6. dong zoo?
NUmber is actually turtles and frogs bundled together…not just turtles!!!
Crocodiles, sure. Pig faces, check. OJ and cooking oil together, why not? Frogs and Turtles, duh. Cebu dong, to each their own. Antibacterial unitard, nice.
Ducks and rice? Now you have got to be kidding me.
Is #6 cooked snakes?

Animals rights activists are going to have a field day when they finally wake up.
I’d be surprised to find Walmarts in Hawaii and on the West Coast not selling bulk rice – 20, 25 and 50 lb. sacks. Ethnic markests and the commisaries on McChord and Lewis do (Joint Base Lewis MChord). Why would Walmart let that demand go unexpoilted?
But for yak penises you have to go to specialty places like Toys in Babeland.

Not Wal-Mart, but…
“Plans to butcher and sell alligator meat at a newly opened branch of the Yonghui chain supermarket in Fengtai district, Beijing, were apparently called off Sunday, two days after a live two-meter long alligator had put on display in the store.
The alligator was seen bound to a counter covered with ice in the store’s seafood section Saturday, the Beijing Times said. Sections of the alligator had reportedly been “booked† by customers with its slaughter being planned for Sunday.”
