Siopao Made Of Cats

One of the most enduring—and nauseating—urban legends tells us that the main ingredient for siopao (Chinese for steamed buns) is reportedly made from cat meat.

The urban legend is an amalgam from when the Philippines lacked meat but had a plentiful supply of cats during World War II, and from the feline-eating cultures of such countries as China and Vietnam. Since then, it has been a sort of running gag for people to answer cat meat whenever someone asks them what the main ingredient of siopao is.
