Have you walked througha chinese food market (outside of the continental US and/or Europe)? (I haven't, but I have seen travalogues on the Discovery and national Geographic channels). Dogs, cats, mice, beetles, silkworms, cockroaches, -anything that walks, creeps, crawls, or slithers is considered edible and even delicious. I rather doubt that THIS is an urban legend. Rather, I think that it is somethig that has happened quite frequently to unwary tourist to either Hong Kong, or Mainland China.
