vic wOMG: Shark Fin

For fudgsicle’s sake, yes.  I’m a vegetarian but I’m not going to tell anyone that their bacon-wrapped hot dog is a terrible, cruel mistake.  Probably more like a delicious mistake, a regret-it-in-the-morning mistake, but it’s what’s done and what must needs be done at a certain hour. 
My other point: food is medicine in the rest of the world (whereas in the US it’s often what makes us sick), and shark cartilage is good for you.  Or good for someone. 
ANYHOW.

In San Francisco’s Chinatown neighborhood, shark fin flesh is so ubiquitous that dim sum shops advertise shark fin dumplings for $1. Your correspondent can report that the fare tastes like a goopy pork dumpling, and is definitely not worth a shark’s cruel death.
