When cultural relativism flies out the window...

Presenting, for your gustatory pleasure -

Pork Floss Dunkin' Donuts, Xi'an
...pork floss Dunkin' Donuts, and...

Scorpions, Seahorses, and Starfish on a stick, Wangfujing Night Market, Beijing
... grilled seahorse (or scorpion, or starfish) on a stick.

Notable not only for their Western "yuk!" factor, but for their rarity - these particular, um, dishes don't seem to be very popular here, either.

I myself haven't tried either of these two - guess I'm leaving them for my nonvegetarian friends to check out. Though I think that Dunkin' Donuts may be sitting on an untapped gold mine with that pork floss doughnut concept. Sweet, salty, porky, and flossy, all in one bite!
