'(20 Jan 2001) Voice and effects VOICED BY: Richard Vaughan XFA The Chinese are proud of their food and the amazing variety of meat and vegetable dishes on offer.   On the eve of China\'s lunar new year many people in Beijing gather to celebrate in their favourite restaurants.  And what better way to bring in the Year of the Snake than with a three course snake dinner washed down with a cup of the reptile\'s blood ?  0002 In this Beijing restaurant, if your taste buds are tired of pork, mutton or beef, you can try something different.  0010 Snake meat is the speciality of the house in this eatery, which offers the unique cuisine of the Dai minority.  You don\'t  have to worry whether your snake meat is fresh.   You can see the animal killed right before your eyes.  0024 In China, eating snake is common among people living in the south, but not in Beijing and further north, where tastes for the lowly reptile are driven by curiosity and the challenge of eating something a little strange.  0037 A snake dinner may not be for the squeamish, but the public preparation ritual has been great for business.  0044 At the restaurant, one snake can be served in five ways -- snake blood wine, snake gallbladder wine, fried snake meat, deep fried snake skin and snake bone soup.  Nearly every part of the snake is consumed.   0059 While waiting for the meat, skin and soup dishes to arrive, you can take a sip of potent wine mixed with snake blood or gallbladder.   Among other benefits, the drink is said to enhance sexual performance.  0112 If Beijing is a culinary battleground competing for the appetites of it\'s estimated 13  million inhabitants, then this restaurant offers courageous eaters a true taste of blood.
