Meh, who really needs to refrigerate meat anyway? You and your first world living standards. I've purchased meat many times from vendors where it was out in the open air, ready to be taken home and cooked. Nice chunks of pig with the skin and hair still intact to cut up for bacon, fresh ground beef taken from a large hunk hanging on a meat hook in a store front without so much as air conditioning. Pretty commonplace stuff if you ask me.
Never had a selection of reptiles to choose from though.

yea, a lot of the best meat is aged, and not at refrigerated temperatures.

Plus, unlike the US, that stuff was probably slaughtered very recently, and it probably going into some kind of stew where it will be thoroughly cooked, eliminating any bacterial risk.

Uh, you can get big beautiful bottles of liquor in Louisiana Wal Marts. I know that for a fact. Liquor in Wal Mart is super cheap. Beer was only a little cheaper. The liquor section is usually right next to the gun section. So it's one stop shopping.

Yep, that's lap-cherng! And butchers are really common still in Chinese communities in the US. The meat my family gets is freshly butchered the same day we buy it, which is usually cooked that day or frozen for other days.

They also scream out deals in supermarkets in China. Each "station" has an attendant whose job is to entice buyers by (loudly) saying the price and other good things about the goods.
