Ye wei or yewei (from Pinyin yěwèi) is a Southern Chinese form of bush meat or game which includes exotic animals and wild animals.
[edit]
History
Historically, members of the imperial courts in Chinese dynastic eras requested grand animals for their meals. Famous examples include the Manchu Han Imperial Feast. Today, yewei can be eaten by anyone with access to wild animals, which can also be imported.
