Rat falls from ceiling, dies on serving table at restaurant

[dlevere]

Nothing is more fresh for your dinner at a Shanghai hot pot restaurant than having a rat die, fall from the ceiling and land straight on your dinner table ready to eat

The rat was ready to eat? How would they know, have they been eating them? Also on an related kind of gross story from a decade ago from the site newsoftheweird.com if it hasn't already vanished from the internet forever, an elderly person had the misfortune of opening a can of soup and cooking it without realizing that somehow there was a dead mouse in the unopened can. Horrifying.

Rats are considered a delicacy in certain parts of Asia. So, this would come across as an unexpected bit of good fortune in an Asian restaurant (provided the rat didn't carry some sort of disease). The customer would have gotten free food (the rat would've been taken to the kitchen and properly prepared).
