What creepy things have you tried eating at least once in your life? Worms. Bugs. Lizards. Frogs. You name it. Or anything that crawls that isn't part of the "normal" American diet (what thing that crawls is?!).
While these critters may not look, sound or feel in texture like good eats, in many other parts of the globe they're considered a normal part of the diet, and also used for medicinal purposes.
The subject comes to mind as for some reason, this week was show & tell in the office for these things. My uchinanchu coworker shared photos of a bottle of Habu Awamori he bought in Okinawa directly from the factory at that link..
Habu Awamori - Okinawan Snake Sake (rice wine), used for medicinal purposes. The snake in it is a Viper.
Habu Awamori is said to be good for back problems and arthritis. Hmmm, my aunt might benefit from this. The article doesn't mention if you can eat the snake afterwards though. Can, or what?
While one of our accountants brought this bottle of Skorppio Vodka she picked up in Mexico (which is actually a product of the UK)...
According to their website, the scorpion is farm-raised and completely edible. Yeah, sure.. after 10 ten or more shots, maybe!
Anyone ever tried the Tequila worm? Or this Vodka Scorpion? Sober? How is it? I imagine its only flavor is the alcohol its soaking in.
