“These people,” Mr Lee, number 1.4 billion, and that comment says more about your viewing habits than Chinese eating habits. Coprophagia and cannibalism; where does one even begin looking for such content online? And that many of anybody would include a few with niche tastes. Snails? Blood sausage? Jellied eels? Yuck!

After blaming another high-profile killer on China – “It wouldn’t surprise me if Aids didn’t originate from somewhere in this inscrutable Far Eastern direction either” – Leapy really gets into his xenophobic stride. “I think we should be very wary of the Chinese. Have you ever had an argument with a waiter in a Chinese restaurant? It doesn’t take much for the whole staff to join in and the chef to appear with a meat cleaver.”

To prove this isn’t just a cliché he’s stolen from many an unimaginative film, he quotes … wait for it … a 16th century English soothsayer, Old Mother Shipton: “And Christian one fights Christian two. And nations sigh, yet nothing do. And yellow men great power gain, from mighty bear with whom they’ve lain.” Yes, that’s convinced me, even though I lived in Hong Kong for more than a quarter of a century and never saw a chopper raised in anger – at least not by a chef.

“Let’s just hope the whole horror trip is over soon and the Chinese authorities decree a change in their nation’s diet habits,” concludes Leapy, who, we must assume, eschews the hyper-processed, artery-clogging, environment-wrecking junk many of his countrymen regularly put into their mouths.

Having shot all his little arrows, how does Leapy end this ill-informed diatribe? With an “Ah So”. Of course he does.
