A trip to the other market
There are supermarkets, and that is where most of us buy our food. However, there are also the open air markets.
There are meal vendors scattered throughout the markets. You simply point to what you want and they cook it right there on the spot.

More pheasant
Rodent...
This is a beaver.
Not sure what the name of this animal is, but it is common.
Boar
Ram?
As fresh as it gets. There is a woman who will slaughter for you and another man who will burn the carcass clean if you don't want to deal with the feathers.
Cow or Pig heart
Noodles by the basket full!
This is the Chinese cabbage I mentioned before, very tasty.
Ending on a high note - breads and sweets.

I use chinese cabbage a lot here back home, too. It is also sometimes called Napa cabbage in the supermarket here. Great for stir fries and even in a turkey burger recipe I have.
Very interesting posts!! :)

napa cabbage,
the chopping knife on the round butcher block is beautiful. I love these photos david. They make me guess at the taste and I find some guess of unknown flavor and texture that would be challenging to get past to discover if I would really be able to enjoy. I am talking about the rodents, frogs...
