History

Historically members of the imperial courts in the dynastic eras have requested grand animals for their meals. Famous examples include the Manchu Han Imperial Feast. Though today it can be eaten by anyone with access to the wild animals (which can be imported).

Terminology

The word 野 basically means "wild". As it is the shortened form of (野獸), which means "wild beasts".

Styles

There is likely no set cooking methods as different regions may have different names for the dishes. Animals can include ostriches, snakes, turtles, dogs, cats, bats, etc. The animals can be sourced from all over the world.
