Since ancient times, Chinese cuisine has paid great attention to the word "rare", and the more special ingredients or rare practices, the more sought after by gourmets. Chefs have used their imagination to create a series of delicious dishes that sound shocking. Some of these dishes have been passed down to this day and become the top ten forbidden dishes in China. However, these dishes are cruel and forbidden to be cooked. If they are cooked, they will bear legal responsibility.

China's top ten forbidden dishes refer to ten kinds of dishes that are banned from serving in China. They are: chicken feet with dragon beard, drunken shrimp, roast duck palm, poured donkey meat, crispy goose intestines, iron-plate soft-shelled turtle, air-dried chicken, Sansuoer, Hericium erinaceus and charcoal-roasted milk sheep.
