:(

the only food i ever turned down

True story. I was in Viet Nam during semester at sea, and this was quite popular there. I first saw snake wine in a store and thought it was some sort of medical curio. Someone offered me a drink later from a bottle with the snake still in it. I was too disgusted to drink it.

I am pretty disappointed in myself for the whole deal. If I had it to do over again, I would totally drink the snake wine. Especially now that I know that it is often made out of endangered species of snakes, which must taste better than common snakes, right? In fact, if anyone can find a good source I would like to get some to make up for my previous failures.

There's an old proverb that says just about whatever you want it to.
