Spicy rabbit head is a very popular snack in Chengdu, Sichuan. Chengdu snack culture has a long history and enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad. Rabbit head is one of the so-called "three heads and one palm" in Chengdu. Three heads refer to rabbit head, duck head and goose head, and "one palm" refers to duck's paw.
These four kinds of spicy snacks are especially loved by Chengdu people, and "eating rabbit's head" is derived from this preference of Chengdu people.
According to foreign media reports, more than 300 million rabbit heads die every year in Sichuan. The huge demand for rabbit heads has directly increased its imports, and exporting rabbits to China and Sichuan has even become the economic pillar of the French rabbit industry.
Of course, there is another meaning of "gnawing the rabbit's skull", and that is kissing.
