Sounds Offal

He's back, with a vengeance.

Well, maybe not the same guy, but one with the same idea. Only this time the guy got pinched with 280kg of pig intestines.

The problem isn't so much that people eat them (if you've had a sausage, you've likely ingested offal and not known it; in the American south people have been consuming pig innards, otherwise known as chitlins, for centuries), it's just that as with any type of animal guts, they have to be fastidiously cleaned before cooking and serving: you know ... all the poo has to be scraped off, and that's time-consuming, as is boiling for five minutes to sterilise them.

But some dude with cobbled-together cooking equipment in a rural parking lot doesn't quite fit the image of cleanliness that Hong Kong's FEHD is looking for.

The worst part is not that this guy was running an illegal food business, but that his choice of delicacy was based on consumer demand and oodles of trust.
