China is famous not just for its technological progress but also for making news with its people’s unconventional food preferences. A viral video from the neighboring country shows a peculiar culinary variation: ‘golgappas’, an Indian street food, filled not with traditional ingredients like potato and chickpeas, but with live zig-zag eels.
Instagram user @megkoh shared a video featuring a Chinese woman trying an unconventional dish. Instead of the usual potato and gram filling, the ‘golgappas’ were topped with a live eel coiled around a tomato. The video shows the woman’s expressions as she grapples with eating the eel, which appears challenging to chew.

Social media commentators reacted with a blend of shock and criticism. Some likened the woman in the video to a vampire, while others questioned why she didn’t simply eat a ‘roti’ instead. Ashwini Gond commented that such individuals would consume anything and then attribute it to a new disease. Zaira Zidane suggested that these critics should experience something similar in their next life, with someone else consuming them.
The viral sensation underscores stark global culinary differences, sparking intense reactions across platforms. ‘Golgappas’ filled with live eels challenge gastronomic norms, eliciting reactions from disbelief to anger.
