1. Baby Mice Wine
Honestly, baby mice wine is probably more sad than it is scary. At least with most other delicacies you don't have to look the poor animal in the eye while you eat it. But this rice wine, found in China and Korea, actually has tiny little mouse foetuses sitting at the bottom of your bottle. The baby mice aren't just put there for decoration; they are actually drowned in the wine and then left to ferment, before the wine is sold as a health tonic. They range in age from a tiny little mouse foetuses to three day old mice at the oldest, then they are left to ferment in the bottle for up to one year. Baby mice wine has been used as a health drink in China and Korea for years and people believe that it can cure almost every illness imaginable from asthma to liver problems. Supposedly it was invented by Koreans who could not afford medical treatment, so came up with this crazy health tonic instead. It is unclear whether people ever drink baby mice wine to enjoy it, or whether they only drink it for medicinal purposes, but either way, those who have tried it claims that it tastes awful..."like petrol".
