A restaurant in Beijing has come up with a novel way to let its customers know that it serves real donkey meat inside its pasties. They parked a real donkey outside the restaurant with an advertising poster wrapped around it.

The Beijing Youth Daily reports that this extraordinary idea was thought up by one of the staff working in a nearby donkey meat pasty restaurant. He insisted it was the best way for them to prove to their customers they stuffed their pasties with real donkey meat, as more and more fake donkey meat is appearing in the Beijing market.

Now this has really got to get you wondering, doesn’t it? I mean what type of meat do you end up using when you want to fake donkey meat?

Anyway, donkey meat pasties are a popular snack from north China’s Hebei Province.
