A food-on-a-stick update.

I thought the Tulsa State Fair had pushed this idea as far as it could go.

I was wrong.

In the alleyways near the Forbidden City in Beijing, the outdoor food vendors are selling --

• butterflies on a stick.
• larva on a stick.
• snake eggs in a stick.
• ostrich egg in a stick.
• roast bat on a stick.

But, no corn dogs.
