Here’s some other fucked up foods i found while looking this up.
> Baby mouse wine
At least a dozen baby mice are drowned in rice wine. The mice used must be still blind and hairless. The brew is matured for at least a year before drinking. Mouse wine is drunk as a health tonic for asthma and liver diseases, rather than as an apéritif. The claimed health benefits have, as far as we know, not been verified by double-blind testing.
Mouse wine tastes like gasoline with an aftertaste of rotting animals and the smell is described as incredibly strong and putrid. Mouse wine is mostly drunk in Southern China (Guangzhou) but has also been consumed in ancient Korea.
This is among the liquids that we have had the misfortune of trying ourselves, several times. When you first consume it, the putrid taste fills your mouth and stings your palate. Parts of baby mouse skin often float around in the wine, so we usually sift the liquid before consuming it.
>Monkey brain
In the book Born Red, A Chronicle of the Cultural Revolution author Gao Yuan describes looking inside restaurant windows of Guangzhou that “offered the famous monkey brains, served at a special table that locked the monkey’s head in place; the waiter would open the skull and the diners would eat while the body wriggled under the table.”
>Fruit bat soup
During cooking the bats smell strongly of urine, however, the meat is described as sweet and similar to chicken. The soup was so popular that the Guam Fruit Bat was hunted to extinction. The bats in Guam eat large amounts of cycad seeds and accumulates large amounts of toxins that when consumed by humans caused Lytico-bodig disease, a deadly neurodegenerative disease similar to ALS, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s. It was first reported in 1904 and included paralysis in the death certificates. In the Chamorro people of Guam, it was the leading cause of death between 1945 and 1956. The Cycad seeds build up large amounts of toxins in the fatty tissue, causing the disease in humans that eat their flesh.
>Frog juice
Jugo de Rana, or Frog juice. A frog smoothie. The frog is killed, usually, by banging its head against the counter, the frog is then skinned and cleaned, and put in a blender with water and other ingredients such as quail eggs, honey, spices, and local plants. The blended frothy green goo is then strained to remove any bone fragments. Street vendors tote the drink as a healthy aphrodisiac energy drink. It’s considered almost a spiritual beverage, the recipes having been passed down through the generations. The Titicaca frog it’s made from is critically endangered.
>Gomutra
Gomutra is cow urine from India. Drinking Gomutra has been practiced for thousands of years, and it is usually consumed for therapeutic purposes as Ayurvedic medicine with claimed health benefits. While all cow urine is considered beneficial, the urine of a pregnant cow is considered especially potent in hormones and minerals. Gomutra is claimed to treat psoriasis, leprosy, fevers, liver ailments, and cancer.
Cow urine can also be used to clean floors, Indian ministers have proposed that it be used in government offices. In 2015 a large technologically sophisticated cow-urine refinery was opened by the makers of the popular cleansing fluid Gocleaner.
