I don't think there is much difference in the lack of tameness.
Consider, for example, such dishes as Sliced Live Fish w. Fish Soup &
Spicy Pepper; Fish Head with Fish Soup and Spicy Pepper; Spicy and Sour
Shredded Pig Tripe; Pig Blood and Vegetables with Spicy Sauce; or
Aromatic and Crispy Pig Intestine. They are all from Grand Sichuan
International in Midtown Manhattan, but I can get some of them at a
local Sichuan place, BuJianBuSan, with a much smaller menu, too.
