BEIJING (Reuters) - Fancy a seahorse kebab, deep-fried scorpion, or maybe duck liver paste shaped as a table tennis bat?
Beijing, a city known for its culinary diversity, is offering everything from the bizarre to the beautiful when it comes to food during the Aug. 8-24 Olympics with visitors urged to be adventurous and not put off by the unusual.
Some of the city's estimated 40,000 restaurants have added sporting twists to menus in keeping with the Chinese tradition of marking special occasions with unique culinary creations.
