Get Ready for Snake Meat Pizza

Pizza Hut introduced a pizza made from snake meat into Chinese markets, CNN reported Wednesday.

The American pizza chain partnered with a century-old Hong Kong restaurant to serve snake on pizza, according to CNN. The dish consists of ingredients from the traditional snake stew — shredded snake meat, black mushrooms and Chinese dried ham.

“Paired with cheese and diced chicken, the snake meat becomes richer in taste,” Pizza Hut Hong Kong said in a statement.

Snake stew is typically enjoyed during colder months by diners in Hong Kong and southern China, the outlet reported. Many believe eating snakes is best for bulking up before hibernation, especially “when the autumn wind begins to blow,” according to a saying in the local Cantonese dialect, CNN reported.
