Strange Things As Food & Drink

Feeling hot, feeling cold, stuff coming out of both ends,
 
Was in a small supermarket in Vermont last year and came across these two products...

I enjoy lobster ( a lot ) and don't mind clams, particularly if they're fried but was curious what the 'juice' of these creatures is used for. I asked someone who worked there and was told it gets put into chowders and soups, much like a stock and some people even put it into a Bloody Mary.

Have you ever had clamato? From the USA I think, but popular in Mexico for micheladas. It is what it sounds like, a mixture of tomato and clam juices.
 
On our way home from the U.S we stopped off in Singapore, a city we visit yearly. It's a food lover's paradise and I love it for the diversity and strange food and drink I often find when there.
I am not certain how the juice is extracted from the virgins, one can only guess...

No, I've not. I can't say that the sound of it appeals to me, however, I'll give most things a go at least once.

It sounds like exactly the kind of thing I like (I tend to like things with quite strong savoury flavours) but I wasn't blown away.

That's always puzzled me with 'Extra Virgin Olive Oil'. Where do all those extra virgins come from?
 
I don't think I'd go for it, I have my limits.

Go on, take one for the team. Enquiring minds and all.
There really are some horrid things out there considered to be delicacies. Who on Earth though of soaking eggs in piss would be a good idea, let alone eating the results?

I don't know about this specific foodstuff, but I suspect it may be 'good for something' in Traditional Chinese Medicine. A lot of that stuff that you wouldn't think of eating, like deer's blood wine or snake soup is. (I certainly don't think TCM is all bunk.) And of course people ignore the moral implications of killing all the tigers or rhinos if it has some supposed medical benefit.

In my younger days, I did try some snake rice wine at a snake farm in Thailand. This was a large bottle of wine into which some poor serpent was coiled steeping. It tasted pretty vile, a little like sweet vinegar and cost a lot. It was claimed to have had some medicinal properties, insomuch as it was a precursor to Viagra. It had zero effect on me, but then I didn't need such things. I did baulk at the still beating cobra heart in either a shot of cobra blood or Mekong whisky.
 
I'm wondering if it can still be counted as 'food and drink' if it's administered up the bum. Medicine?
 
I recall reading an account of extreme alcoholics who could receive their fix only from below. It was not their own kinky choice and may even have been medically prescribed. Too depressing to look up. :(

I guess it bypasses the liver and kidneys and goes straight into the bloodstream.

Where it makes its way to the liver and kidneys... Once it's in the blood stream, there isn't really a way to avoid them.

The advantage is that it's absorbed faster by the gut than by the stomach, and gets into the blood stream faster.

There's also an UL about teenage girls soaking tampons in vodka for an instant effect. Rubbish of course.
 
It rolls pretty nicely off the tongue to pronounce it: "Squirrel Lasagna; Squirrel Lasagna; Squirrel Lasagna; ..."
London restaurant serves up gray squirrel lasagna
The chef at a London restaurant said he is catering to customers in search of "sustainable" proteins with a lasagna made with an unusual meat -- gray squirrel.

Ivan Tisdall-Downes, chef at Borough Market restaurant Native, said he struck a deal with his wild boar supplier to obtain the gray squirrel carcasses that would have gone to waste from culls of the invasive North American animals.

"Squirrel is one of the most sustainable proteins you can cook really. It is almost exactly the same in taste as rabbit," ...

"It's tasty, it's not as gamey as rabbit, it's nice white meat. It's good to cook down slowly and make stews from and ragus for lasagna," he said. "It's very good for you, it's quite lean."
