Just when I thought that I couldn't find something more bizarre to consume than a cobra's beating heart, alas, I have found a wine made with tiny mice fetuses. These itty bitty mice are taken from their mothers while their eyes are still closed! They are then put into a bottle of rice wine to be fermented. Some reports indicate that this is actually done to the mice while they are still alive. Some people in Korean and Chinese traditions view this drink as a health-inducing tonic. For me, and I think for most Americans, it is vomit-inducing. I think I'll have to skip my dinner now.....
