A young cowboy walks into a seedy cafe in Prescott, Arizona. He sits at the counter and notices an old cowboy with his arms folded
staring blankly at a full bowl of chilli. After fifteen minutes of just sitting there staring at it, the young cowboy bravely asks the old cowpoke, "If you ain't gonna eat that, mind if I do?"

The older cowboy slowly turns his head toward the young wrangler and in his best cowboy manner says, "Nah, you go ahead."

Eagerly, the young cowboy reaches over and slides the bowl over to his place and starts spooning it in with delight. He gets nearly down to
the bottom and notices a dead mouse in the chilli. The sight was shocking and he immediately barfs up the chilli into the bowl.

The old cowboy quietly says, "Yep, that's as far as I got, too."

Cheers, Vince

oh dear thats not a good thought

Well so much for me eating breakfast.

there goes my supper

Sound like the mouse is indeed dead..

If you are in some part of China, most probably the mouse is already gutted and skinned.
If the chili is warm, the mouse could have been well cooked.
So it got to be ok..
just some extra protein..

Alas the story is about Arizona..
I wonder what type of delicacy they serve there ..
