I remember once when I was a kid I wanted to have some jellybeans that my brother had, and he told me that they were made from syrup of ipecac and they would make me vomit. I thought he was bullshitting me, but I looked up syrup of ipecac and I was like "OMG, he was right!" lol
I ate part of a cake flavored with castoreum which is secreted from the hind end of a beaver. It was pretty good. Edit: spelling
Yep. So you know what's in that "natural" vanilla imitation? Beaver butt juice. Also, you know that pretty much all bakeries use imitation? uke:
Secretions from badgers are used for medicine just like castoreum from beavers. It is supposed to be superior for medicinal use than beaver castoreum. Researchers say, however that beaver is much better for consumption.
Ingredients: Whole wheat flour, corn flour, oat flour, oat fiber, soluble corn fiber, sugar, corn syrup, soybean oil, salt, tricalcium phosphate, red#40, beaver ass
:smilielol5: I've of the many reasons I cook at home from scratch. I like to keep my beaver ass consumption to a minimum.
I am still trying to figure out why someone would want to try ipecac if they did not have to? When the kids were little I always had a bottle in case I was instructed (poison control) to use it but thankfully that was something that never happened.
I hope not. That lady had such talent and her demons regarding self image killed her. What a sad situation.
