Beaver ass cream is the best kind
Well I am glad to know they are boneless. And inverted. Can’t imagine a pork rectum with the bone in it right side up.
The 32nd flavor
“Bourbon is still wholesome, right? It’s not made from a weasel dingus or anything, is it?”
A possum might get into the mash and drown now and then, but the alcohol kills most of the germs, so, no worries!
My favorite is the red dye in Red Velvet Cake is squashed up bug guts.
Must’ve been a slow day for you
inquiring minds want to know! LOL
YUM...
I happen to like eating .... ice cream ... fooled ya
Is Beaver Butt Really Used To Flavor Your Dessert? Here’s What You Should Know.
A beaver’s posterior, believe it or not, smells good. Like, really good, according to Joanne Crawford, a wildlife ecologist who told National Geographic that she loves putting her nose down there and breathing it all in. “People think I’m nuts,” she said. “I tell them, ‘Oh, but it’s beavers; it smells really good.’”
The ancient equivalent of scientists experimented with any and all natural substances, looking for uses. Gum was made from tree resins, et cetera.
With limited resources, and nothing synthetic, they were accustomed to testing all aspects of a plant or animal for use.
Ammbergris, from Sperm Whales, used in expensive perfumes, nearly made them extinct from wholesale whaling. Although cosmetics was certainly a use, many famously valuable substances had other, more important uses.
The Bible speaks of Myrhh, Frankincense, and other spices, because they were used like money; that use arose from their having tangible, medicinal uses. (Boswellia, used for inflammation, is Frankincense.) It was not just because they smell nice.
Gold, silver, and copper are precious/semi-precious because they have exceptional properties of conductivity and ductility. It was not just because they are pretty.
Generic, symbolic money has removed us from the immediacy of nature.
The point is: Someone long ago tested these things, to find out their properties and uses.
Aroma is in the nose of the beholder
Beaver secretions are definitely natural and organic.
Cochineal beetles used to make red food coloring are natural as well.
Totally fascinating how these bizarre things come about. I believe beaver anal glands are/were used in perfume too.
They shouldn’t have put the anal glands so close to the beaver.
Beaver weren’t just hunted for castoreum but for their pelts, which were used to make felt for then-fashionable top hats. It wasn’t until silk top hats started being more fashionable that the trapping pressure for pelts was lifted.
Problem was, when there’s no demand for beaver pelts or excretions then the beaver become ‘pests’ of no economic value that eat valuable trees, increasing global warming by releasing carbon in the form of vanilla scented beaver farts. Maybe it isn’t SUVs’ or cows’ fault at all but the proliferation of beaver. ;-)
Maybe they used to use cow stomach to store milk or yogurt and accidentally made cheese...
Ha!
I thought that was an SNL skit from back when SNL was good!
But you’re right, it was Rush.
Some Indian or French fur trapper may have discovered the beaver’s secret when starving one winter made him desperate enough to eat from his gutpile. The meat from the animal is very good, like beef. Maybe a trapper found out while trying to get a piece of tail.
I know muskrat oil smells like orangepeel but have never been desperate enough to do anything with the glands.
