Sansuoer, a famous dish in Fujian, is actually a local dish with newborn mice as the main raw material. Of course, this mouse is not an ordinary house mouse we see, but an edible one raised artificially. Why is this dish called Sansuoer? It's because when eating this dish, newborn mice will bark three times, when they hold the mouse with chopsticks, when they dip in the seasoning and when they put it in their mouths. As for the origin of Sansuoer, it can be traced back as early as the Tang Dynasty's "A Book in the Ruling and Opposition", which records that "Lingnan Liao people are fond of honey pumping, that is, those who have a mouse fetus that is not instantaneous and are red and crawling all over, feed it with honey, nail it to the feast, and do it."
