While we’re in Asia, we may as will stick around a bit since there is a generous collection of unusual foods to choose from. This is one that is shared by both traditional Chinese as well as Koreans. This beverage is exactly what it sounds like. Baby mice are removed from their nest and dropped alive into a bottle of rice wine which is then left to ferment until it’s ready for consumption. It is touted as a health tonic, although it’s difficult to imagine how the carcasses of baby rodents could improve one’s health.
