[SirPiken]

Those look like naked mole rats.

No, never, even if I wasn't a vegetarian.. It's simply disgusting.

Whatever floats their boat I suppose, not sure I can even stomach the idea of snakes spiders or mice in my wine though :3

You should probably not think about all the bugs that tend to be mixed with the grapes that make your wine.

[Hammahtime]

Now a wine made of cute kittens, that is something I would consume!

So....pussy wine?

Alternative medicine, also known as the placebo effect. If it worked it would be called medicine.

Pseudo-medicines are a great way to dupe uninformed and/or gullible people out of lots of money, sometimes with the added bonus of killing off a couple of animals for no reason.

Not fully true. There are some old known medicines which are true.

For example, warts. Yes, gross. Yet some types of these, the finger ones, can be gotten rid of by using garlic. You take a garlic, cut the little... pieces (!? word) inside to have the juicy part sit on the wart, tie it with something to the finger then go to sleep. Next morning your finger will smell horrible as garlic and it will sting a lot, but do this once a week for a month and the finger warts should be gone. Yet, if you go at the doctor, the first thing they'll suggest is some expensive medicine or laser surgery. When you can get rid of those things with a simple garlic and some ductape.

That's pretty messed up, and I heard of other also very messed up dishes from someone in Philippines.
He had seen dishes when birds are plucked of all their feathers, and dipped into some stuff (similar to what was discussed in article, but with plucking of feathers).

Sometimes I'm happy my diet is limited to certain preparation techniques.

Those articles were hilarious....a great read.

This is the sort of strange thing I'd expect in a Chris Morris sketch.

Duct tape alone will work on warts. Why waste money on garlic?

Alternative medicine, homeopathy, etc... isn't called medicine for a reason. Sure in some cases it can work, though like your garlic example, if it is continually said that garlic is the reason for the warts disappearance, people may stop using the duct tape and results may no longer be seen. (Note: I've never heard of garlic as a remedy for warts before, but have used duct tape alone for success. I have no clue if garlic alone would work or not.)


As for the baby mice wine... that's pretty messed up. To each their own though.

Yuck.
That's just gross and inhumane. As well as, honestly, probably not very healthy.

Not fully true. There are some old known medicines which are true.

Of course there are. Willowbark for head-aches and infections, as well as fever. Hedera for dermal infections. And loads, loads more.
But those are medicinal. Yes, they've been used for thousands of years, but they weren't used on faith.
Traditional chinese medicine, however, does rely mostly on faith, attributing their supposed effects to nothing more than 'spiritual' bullshit.
Here's some examples:
Ground tiger bones for strength. Bones are bones, people. A tiger bone is in no way more potent than a cow bone. It's a bone.
Ground rhino horn. Seriously, people? It's hair. That's right. A rhino horn is nothing but hair. Does biting your hair make you healthy? Didn't think so.
Ground mummy for... Stuff. Yups, mummy-dust.
Ground human baby for fertility. So you kill a baby, grind them down, press pills out of it, and... What?!

None of these remedies have any reason for working other than containing a 'certain qi, or spiritual force.' This spiritual force isn't demonstrably there, and is only attributed to the item because people attribute certain qualities to them, rather than the creatures actually having those qualities. They'd grind up owls for wisdom if they'd hear that Europeans associate owls with wisdom... But the truth is that these animals are incredibly stupid. That doesn't matter; this 'medicine' is about faith, not fact.

Yeah... I don't think the Dutch customs is going to be very pleased with someone importing pickled rattlers.
They tend to make a fuss about things like that.

No! the poor little baby mice

Don't judge, you eat baby pigs,cows,chickens,sheep to you monster!

I try not to eat those raw, also baby pigs cows and chickens are delicious

[DeltrusDisc]

My grandparents used to make wine with snakes, spiders (or maybe it was some other equally disgusting dead stuff) etc in it. But baby mice sounds far more horrid :S

Jeez, the poor spiders and snakes.

As if I needed to be sadder for the poor animals!

[Venant]

There are lots of odd delicacies out there, haven't any of you wanted to try Ortolan?
