These are the 8 grossest drinks ever made in the world
Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: these are the 8 grossest drinks ever made in the world.
With a perfectly shaken Pornstar Martini or Toblerone cocktail our weekly cocktail night can't go wrong. But wait a minute, besides gross dishes there are also many nauseating drinks being poured worldwide. Anyone up for a glass of wine made from Chinese baby mice? WHAAAAATTTTT?!
Canadian cocktail made from sour toes
This classic has been on the menu of the exclusive bar The Sourtoe Cocktail Club in Yukon since 1973. To get in here, you must be a member, and you become a member by drinking a shot of the cocktail with a mummified human toe. You can drink it as fast or slow as you want, on the condition that your lips touch the toe. So... who dares?
Chinese baby mouse wine
Yes, really. Our jaws dropped to the floor upon seeing the bottle (so bizarre, we can't even picture it), but in China and Korea, this is actually consumed. The bottle of rice wine contains at least twelve baby mice that ferment in the bottle for a year or longer. Curious how it tastes? The same as gasoline, apparently.
Walrus testicle beer from Iceland
Uh, what? Beer brewed from the testicles of a walrus? This controversial beer has been brewed on the island for centuries and is served with several Icelandic dishes. The beer is brewed from the testicles of a walrus that can weigh between six to ten kilos (!). Because the testicles are smoked, the Dung-smoked Whale Testicle beer has a light smoky flavor.
Seagull wine from Antarctica
Animals and wine, what is that? This time no baby mouse trapped in a bottle, but a whole (!) dead seagull. It is said that not only is the taste terrible, but also the hangover you get from it is something you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy for even a minute.
Indonesian Kopi Luwak
This cup of coffee is made with not just any coffee beans, but beans that have been pooped out by the Civet cat. The coffee cherries that the cats eat get a different structure due to the enzymes in the animals' stomachs. This makes the coffee taste rich and intense.
Japanese 10000 Placenta
Placenta 10000 is a popular Japanese drink that is consumed because it is said to provide, among other things, smooth skin and reduce wrinkles. The drink gets its name from the ten milligrams of pig placenta that it contains. Not satisfied? There is also a variant with four times as much placenta.
Indian soft drink made from cow urine
Gau Jal is a soft drink that contains cow urine. This is anything but unusual in Hindu culture. They have been drinking cow urine for much longer, especially because it is said to be a good remedy for various health problems.
Tuna eye tear rice wine from South Korea
This remarkable drink has more of a jelly-like consistency and is made from rice wine with ground tuna eyeballs in it. It is said to work against skin aging and is packed with vitamin E. Drinkers give the wise advice to not smell the drink, but to down it immediately. Very wise.
