Beaver flavour

A food science programme last night claimed that castoreum, a secretion from the anal glands of beavers used for scent marking, is an additive in food due to it's resemblance to vanilla.

It can be found in ice cream, cakes, drinks and sweets. Look out for 'natural flavourings' in the ingredients. I hasten to add that the majority of the food industry denies this.

It's also used in medicine (one component is salicylic acid), perfumes and cosmetics. Lovely.

I ain't sniffing a beavers balloon knot to test this theory, nope, not happening.

It would bite me with its big toothies.

The same people who saw cows udders and thought "I wonder if that tastes good," or licked trees until they found the maple...

It's use goes back thousands of years. Traditionally it's also used in Sweden to flavour schnapps, known as Baverhojt (beaver shout) probably after the noise the beaver makes while it's being harvested. You heard it here first.

"Kopi luwak, or civet coffee, is coffee that includes partially digested coffee cherries, eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet. Fermentation occurs as the cherries pass through a civet's intestines, and after being defecated with other fecal matter, they are collected."

Yep. That stuff.

Never tried it but heard it tastes like shit
