There’s this global distrust of Chinese restaurants, on the back of the conspiracy that what they normally serve in terms of meat, is the worse you can imagine–mostly, not what they claim to be serving.

We’ve come across accusations that rats are served by some Chinese restaurants and even that dogs are served as beef or whatever.

Now, a Chinese restaurant in Italy is being accused of serving human FEET to diners after a gruesome image of a rotten flesh was posted online by a waiter.

Mail Online reports;

A Chinese restaurant has been accused of serving human feet after a waiter posted a gruesome picture – allegedly taken in its kitchen – on social media.

The grim photo shows what looks like two severed and partially decomposed human feet in a blue bowl.

It surfaced after a diner from Slovenia went with friends to a restaurant in Padua, in northern Italy and asked for the Chinese delicacy of bear paws.

The waiter, who was not named in reports, claims his picture of human feet were the ‘bear paws’ that were later served to the Slovenian and his friends.

After seeing the disturbing picture on social media, a regular Italian customer reported it to the authorities.

Police and food standards officials inspected the restaurant and found 55lbs of meat and frozen fish of doubtful origin.

They also found dirt and grease all over the refrigerators, on the floors and on the oven, reports said.

Packages of frog legs and crab meat were reportedly found to be well beyond their expiry dates.

Police have consulted a forensic pathologist about the feet picture, who said they appeared human, and say they are still investigating the image’s origin.

The restaurant’s legal status and whether it is still operating are unclear.
