Well, you know, I'm not a believer, so I could be cynical about this. But when you consider the fuss that Brigitte Bardot (yes, Brigitte Bardot) is kicking up about the Koreans serving dog meat while hosting the World Cup, I guess some Europeans are prepared to be deeply offended about food, too.
If it turned out that McD's had been putting snake meat in their burgers, I bet there would be a lot of post facto barfing right here in the US -- and lawsuits? Don't make me laugh.
One man's meat is another man's python.
