 It is from Vietnam. They call it "snake wine" but the actual booze can be various concoctions. Label on this bottle doesn't specify exactly what it is. It's sold as medicinal stuff. Think I'll stick with tylenol.  ;)

i'd remembered hearing about in v.n.
where they drank the cobra venom and
cognac for bravery or to show how big
your juevos were or something like that. . .
i just wondered if that's what that was. . . . :P

A brand of tequila has an agave worm in the bottom. I used to work in a liquor store and sold lots of it. I asked some girls one night what they did with the worm, they giggled and said, we eat it. I talked to several customers who said the same thing, claiming it was like an aphrodesiac. No thanks. POWDERMAN.  8) 8)

 I've already had an offer to buy from a collector. Seems my bottle was a very good vintage for snakes and this particular brand was never imported into the US.  ;D

It's good stuff if you're ever dying of fever, severe food poisoning, or internal infection. Usually a mixture very similar to tequila, but with several other local plants and herbs (like with a decent gin) and sometimes some type of animal oil(obviously the snakes in this case).


Down in the Yucatan, one could get a bottle of turtle oil (illegal in the states). One could cure quite a few different ailments with a small bowl full of freshly diced scorching hot chiles, mixed with a big table spoon of turtle oil, followed with a healthy shot of tequila(teh"kill"ya), and then eating an orange wedge to keep you from vomiting.


Turtle oil has got to be one of the most foul things I've ever tasted, but I was up and recovered from a nasty feverish bug in less than a day.


Seen a few different local "boom-boom"s in my travels. Rarely ever turned down an opportunity to try when offered. Used to make good money betting my shippies and swim buddies. But then, I've got the stomach of a billy goat.


Hell, if one can handle sashimi, this should be a snap.
